No, Shel, we weren't leaderless. Neither was there a President of the United
States. Rather, there was a President of the Congress of the Confederation
which operated under the Articles of Confederation.

Hi Bob ... Nope, it's not a trick question. Think about this for a moment:
The country was officially formed on March 1, 1781 with the adoption of The
Articles of Confederation. Washington was inaugurated in April of 1789. We
were not leaderless during those years before Washington became president.
