President [[George Washington]] was still popular when his four years in office were over. He was reluctant to run for a second term, and even composed the first draft of his [[Farewell Address]], but Jefferson and Hamilton (already beginning to be political enemies) united one last time to convince him to run for re-election.<ref>''America Afire: Jefferson, Adams, and the Revolutionary Election of 1800''. Bernard A. Weisberger.</ref> He consented to serve a second term, but would never consider a third term.<ref>[[Encyclopedia of Presidents, George Washington]], by Zachary Kent, Children's Press, 1986.</ref>

This election was held before the [[Twelfth Amendment]], so each elector had two votes; the runner-up would become Vice-President. Thus, with one vote from each elector, George Washington was unanimously re-elected. The results were:
