The Congress of the Confederation had provided that the new Congress
chosen under the Constitution should meet in New York on the first
Wednesday of March to declare the result of the Presidential election
and inaugurate the new Republic, but a quorum of the Senate did not
appear until the 6th of April, and on that day the electoral vote was
counted in the presence of the two Houses, and Washington and Adams
declared elected. They were notified of their election as speedily
as possible, but it was not until the 30th of April that they were
inaugurated.
