The oath for the highest office in the land was first administered in New York City on April 30, 1789. George Washington arrived at that Inaugural shadowed by doubts. "My movements to the chair of government will be accompanied by feelings not unlike those of a culprit, who is going to the place of his execution," he wrote his friend Henry Knox. But Washington in the Presidency, as in the Revolution, was the rock on which hope rested. He brought success. The Presidency has proved itself to be the most remarkable political office in history. There have been 41 men from 19 states who have been President of the United States. Only seven of these men were born west of the Mississippi. I am the first President to come from Arkansas, which was admitted to the Union in 1836 as the 25th state. Like all Chief Executives who have walked before me in this national trust, I hope to add to its diversity and rich history.
