Thoughts on the presidency of the United States of America.

I was reading Britannica on the presidency of the United States of America. The deliberation of the Constitutional Convention at Philadelphia on May 25, 1787, and on September 1787, makes for very interesting self deliberation. The founding fathers of the Constitution of the United States, did not see the President of the United States as the vanguard of the United States. In fact, the representatives of the states, in the Senate, and in the House of Representatives, were the true collective vanguard of the interests of the United States, and the President of the United States, was the representative of the Senate, and the House of Representatives. The first, and great President of the United States, George Washington, was the unquestioned representative of the Senate, and the House of Representatives. Perhaps, the electoral election of the United States President, after George Washington served his two terms, leads one to believe, that the Senate, and the House of Representatives were initially united as one body, behind the President George Washington, but subsequently, contradictory choices, by the members of the Senate, and the House of Representatives, led to the formation of the Federalist Party, and the Democratic Republican Party. The Federalist Party, waned in fortune, later, as a political force in the United States, and then the Democratic Republican Party, were divided into the Democratic Party, and the Republican Party, perhaps. Why could not the electoral college direct the House of Representatives, and the Senators, to vote unanimously, one candidate, among the august gathering, to be the President of the United States? Why should the nation be divided in a conflict of perceived interest? I will add to my thought, on another post.
