There was no specific delay in the inauguration of the new government under the US Constitution. George Washington, the first President of the United States, was inaugurated on April 30, 1789 in New York City, after receiving unanimous electoral votes from the Electoral College. The process of establishing the new government under the Constitution went relatively smoothly, although there were debates and negotiations among the Founding Fathers during the Constitutional Convention and ratification process.
