Washington was concerned that the presidents of the Confederation Congress had been overwhelmed by visitors in the past. As a result, during the presidency Washington set aside the late afternoon for meetings with the public and evenings for dinner parties with invited guests.
On February 25, 1793 (218 years ago today) President George Washington held the first cabinet meeting in US history.
