...During the First Congress in 1789, John Adams, serving as Vice President, argued that the new nation’s chief executive should have a more distinguished and formal title to command respect both domestically and abroad. He proposed the elaborate title “His Highness the President of the United States and Protector of Their Liberties,” which sparked immediate backlash.
