The precedents that George Washington set during his presidency include:

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

The other statements regarding establishing a judicial system of nine justices and a Tax and Tariff cabinet position are not accurate as precedents set by Washington himself. The Judiciary Act of 1789 established the federal court system, including the Supreme Court, but this specific number of justices evolved later. Additionally, while there were financial discussions and roles regarding taxes and tariffs, such positions were formalized more significantly after Washington's presidency.
