The Forgotten Congressional Presidents

George Washington became the first President of the United States in 1789. But that leaves thirteen years between when the United States declared independence and when Washington accepted the highest office in the land.  In that time, fourteen men held the office of president in the United States. While the rules were different, the contributions of the forgotten fourteen Congressional Presidents  deserve to be remembered.
