Can anyone tell me who was the last President elected by the people? The only one I can think of is George Washington.

SFC Kenneth Hunnell I think this is a wonderful question but you got something wrong, President George Washington was not elected by the people either his position as president was the result of a congressional vote in which 69 ballots were cast in his favor.

I can definitely tell you who was not elected. That would be Gerald Ford.
He was selected as a replacement as vice president for Richard Nixon, then when Nixon resigned, he became President

George Washington and John Adams isn't on the list in any way.
John Adams was the Politician and George Washington was the one that won the most important battle of the Revolutionary War, the last one. The winning of the War is the factor that made George Washington "The first President of The United States".
