The delegates to the Convention anticipated a Washington presidency and left it to him to define the office once elected.[n] the state electors under the Constitution voted for the president on February 4 1789 and Washington suspected that most republicans had not voted for him the mandated March 4 date passed without a Congressional quorum to count the votes but a quorum was reached on April 5 the votes were tallied the next day and Congressional Secretary Charles Thomson was sent to Mount Vernon to tell Washington that he had been elected president Washington won the majority of every state's electoral votes; John Adams received the next highest number of votes and therefore became vice president. Washington had "anxious and painful sensations" about leaving the "domestic felicity" of Mount Vernon but he departed for New York City on April 23 to be inaugurated, Washington always tried to be evenhanded in dealing with the Indians He hoped that they would abandon their itinerant hunting life and adapt to fixed agricultural communities in the manner of Anglo-Saxon settlers He never advocated outright confiscation of their land or the forcible removal of tribes and he berated American settlers who abused Indians admitting that he held out no hope for pacific relations with the Indians as long as "frontier settlers entertain the opinion that there is not the same crime (or indeed no crime at all) in killing an Indian as in killing a white man.", Congress also has implied powers deriving from the Constitution's Necessary and Proper Clause which permit Congress to "make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States or in any Department or Officer thereof". Broad interpretations of this clause and of the Commerce Clause the enumerated power to regulate commerce in rulings such as McCulloch v Maryland have effectively widened the scope of Congress's legislative authority far beyond that prescribed in Section Eight.
