The Forgotten Presidents

Technically speaking, the first POTUS was Thomas McKean, born of Irish parents (although jaffa bastards). Thats right, the first man to be officially referred to as President of the United States was a donkey (he made up for his fathers past transgressions against Irish Catholics by opposing the Brits) EE-Aw!!! The job he, as well as the other fourteen men that held that position in various titles and incarnations of The Continental Congress was no less pivotal in the formation of this great Country of ours than the "official forty-three"

Then clink your glasses clink
'Tis a toast for all to drink
And let every voice join in the chorus
For America is our home
And wherever we may roam
We'll be true to the dear land that bore us.
