Question: Who were the only two signers of the U.S. Constitution who later served as president?
Answer: George Washington and James Madison were the only signers of the Constitution who later served as U.S. presidents. Washington served as the nation’s first president from 1789 to 1797, while Madison served as the fourth president from 1809 to 1817. Often called the Father of the Constitution, Madison was the only delegate to attend every session of the Constitutional Convention. His detailed journal of the proceedings remained unpublished until after his death; Congress purchased it in 1837 for $30,000, and it was published in 1840.
