George Washington was sworn in as President of the United States for his second term in Philadelphia on March 4, 1793. His first term began on April 30, 1789, after he won the first presidential election. Washington's second term lasted from 1793 to 1797.

During his second term, the United States faced various challenges, including foreign relations issues related to the ongoing conflicts in Europe and conflicts with Native American tribes in the western territories. Washington decided not to seek a third term, establishing the precedent of the two-term presidency. He delivered his Farewell Address in 1796, offering advice and insights that would influence the early political culture of the United States.
