Answer 1

The two precedents that George Washington set during his presidency are:

1. He chose well-known leaders to run his executive departments and serve as his advisors.
2. He chose to not run for a third term.

These actions helped establish norms for future presidents in terms of cabinet selection and the tradition of limiting terms in office.
