"It is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to Obey His Will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor."
George Washington, as well as many of our founding fathers, believed in providence. His life was a miracle of God's protection.
He did not want to be president but did so out of a sense of duty. And he definitely didn't want to be king. After his two terms in office he went back to his beloved home and family.
