1789 United States presidential election

The 1789 United States presidential election was the first US Presidential Electionheld on February 8, 1789, under the US Constitution ratified two days earlier. The numerous political parties and factions that have formed before the election nominated their own candidates for the presidency. Three candidates managed to gain significant traction, with only two gaining electoral votes. New York Lawyer Shellblu was nominated by the One Nation party to run for president with their agenda. He went on to carry his home state as well as the states of Michigan, Florida, Illinois, Nebraska, and the state of Washington due to him appealing to the Washington Anarchocapitalist party, led by Furballen (who was chosen as his running mate). California public speaker Greviaty was nominated as the Democratic candidate for president and won the states of California, Texas, and Virginia, creating a tie in the electoral college. The newly elected House of Representatives from the First Congress of the United States elected Shellblu as the first President of the United States while the Senate elected SayerQT as the first Vice President of the United States.

Shellblu and SayerQT were sworn in on May 19, 1789.
