Washington: Year 1 Pt. 2

In Better than Washington, we review presidents by seeing how their arbitrary quality score(s) match up to the very first president: George Washington. So of course, we have to know what score George from Valley Forge deserves! This episode is the second of a two-part discussion describing the first year of Washington's presidency, from April 30th, 1789 to March 31st, 1790. So, let's see just how hard it is to be Better than Washington!
