Thomas Jefferson - A Character Sketch
Titles of Honor and Office
by Ellis, Edward S. (A.M.)
|
He wrote to one of his friends concerning this matter as follows:
"The Senate and Representatives differed about the title of President. The
former wanted to style him 'His Highness, George Washington, President of
the United States, and Protector of their Liberties.' I hope the terms of
Excellency, Honor, Worship, Esquire, forever disappear from among us. I
wish that of Mr. would follow them."
