False. A third-party canidate has already been elected. Millard Fillmore (1850-1853) of the Whig Party was the last third party candidate to be elected president.

I thought the party system was introduced after George Washington by John Adams and Thomas Jefferson because they had opposing views?

Wouldn't that make you both wrong? or is my history failing me here and i'm forgetting something?


Nope you're right...

George Washington tried to prevent Political Parties because he thought it would be the downfall of America.

I wish we would have listened.
