Arthur St. Clair was president of the CC when the constitution was adopted in 1787, thus forming the USA, so it must be him in that case. :dono:

He wasn't the First president of the CC. And the USA was form after the Revolutionary War. The Constitution only affirmed that Union.

In that case - Elias Boudinot. He was P of the CC at the time of the Treaty of Paris.

And I already mentioned the first P of the CC - that was Peyton Randolph - September 5 - October 22 1774.

If nobody else posts one before I wake up I'll find something equally tortuous. Night all.

I would say that Randolph, Hancock and Boudinot have equal claims to being the 'first president'. The article that you link to even says that his status as first president is 'a myth'.

A dodgy question IMNSHO.
