[ WP ] George Washington has just been elected the first President of the United States . However , his efforts to govern are undermined by a vocal part of the opposition party calling themselves the `` Tea Party ''

... will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. So help me God, ” Washington finished, his voice echoing through the silent hall. A moment passed, then the room erupted in raucous cheers as each man shouted his hope, filled joy of a young nation... each man save two, from the new state of Boston. 
 
 As soon as the room quieted Washington began again in his typical stoic, calm fashion, `` now I move that we have a short repose...'' A loud, obvious snort of derision rose from the back of the hall. Congress people looked around, stunned that someone would interrupt the new-made president. Washington continued, ``... filled as we are with the joys of victory in the field, and in the...'' Another snort rang out. This time Washington spotted the culprit, `` representative Heath! You disapprove of taking rest at this time?'' 
 
 Representative Heath looked up at the new president with feigned shock, `` Why nooooo sir, I just find it somewhat comical, though not at all surprising, that the first order of business would be to take a quick... nap.'' 
 
 Washington smiled. He had been quick to suggest a break, and had forgotten that every move he made would be surely become a precedent for hundreds of future presidents. Mentally he thanked this young representative for not letting him become idle. `` Yes, representative Heath is right! We must not let this congress fall to sloth, we must leap to the governance of this nation! What is first on the agenda?'' 
 
 A clerk spoke up, `` the problem of the presidential salary.'' 
 
 Before Washington could speak, Heath laughed out loud, `` HA. Yes of course, let us decide how much to pay the tyrant for his crimes.'' 
 
 The room erupted with anger. Young men shouted curses and tempers erupted. Quicky, Washington shouted the room to quiet, before things could come to blows. `` Representative Heath, it is clear that you have found some issue with my rule, why you did not bring it up before my election I can not know, but every man in this room has a voice! Speak, tell me your troubles!'' 
 
 Heath, somewhat red with exertion, stood up. He looked around the room, clearly reveling in the spotlight, loving the attention. He turned his focus to Washington and spoke, `` A large number of the good citizens who I represent have raised concerns about actions taken by a small minority this,'' he gestured towards Washington, `` King represented. I am talking of course, about the horrific events of December 16, 1773!'' 
 
 John Adams stoop up violently and shouted, `` An historical day in these United States' short history good sir! We gave it good to those red coats!'' 
 
 Heath turned on him, `` and you, crony fool that you are, are implicit in the horrible actions. And for what, a spot on the tyrannical cabinet! I represent the small business people you ruined with your callous actions! We call ourselves, the Whig Party.'' 
 
 Washington spoke up, `` if your concern is of the destruction of tea during the Boston Tea Party, would it not be more appropriate to call yourself the Tea Party?'' 
 
 Heath turned bright red. `` How dare you! You mock our cause suggesting such a silly name! We care about more than a simple joke!''
