    George Washington received 100% of the popular votes in 1789 and 1792.

    George Washington was elected unanimously because he could hold the frail and new country together. Everyone knew that he had to be president, everyone wanted him to be president. This was for both of his terms, he was the glue that held everyone together regardless, and was loved by everyone.
