1789: George Washington (Independent) [1]
1793: George Washington (Independent)
1797: Thomas Jefferson (Republican) [2]
1801: Oliver Ellsworth (Federalist)
1802: John Drayton (Republican)[3]
1805: Alexander Hamilton (Federalist)
1807: Rufus King (Federalist)[4]


[1] George Washington is selected by the House of Delegates as the first Prime Minister unanimously.
[2] Thomas Jefferson and the Republicans win the 1797 general election, after Washington announces his retirement. 1797 marks the first general election in which political parties competed, compared to the previous non partisan system.
[3] The election of 1801 had resulted in a hung Parliament, where several Members who did not clearly belong to either party held the balance of power. Although the Republicans held more seats, a leadership dispute between Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr resulted in Federalist Oliver Ellsworth becoming PM, but Ellsworth called for a new election within several months, which was won clearly by the leaderless Republicans. Organizing the first-ever political convention, the Republicans chose a dark-horse candidate - freshman member and former Governor John Drayton of South Carolina - for their leader. Drayton was duly elected PM.
[4] Hamilton proved to have a manipulative management style, causing resentment among both Federalist and Republican MPs. Rumors of a no-confidence vote began to emerge. In exchange for a promise not to force an early election, Federalist MPs agreed with Republicans to ease Hamilton out of the Premiership. Rufus King was chosen by the Federalist caucus to replace Hamilton.

This thread is too good to die...I'll risk breaking the rules if it means keeping it alive.

[6] Thomas Jefferson resigns over health concerns, handing the reigns of power to his protege, James Madison. Although Madison lacked the stature of Jefferson (figuratively and literally), he managed to keep the shakey coalition together, despite internal conflicts between the Republicans and the Nullifiers.

During that time, negotiations between the Republicans and the Nullifiers lead to a merger of the two party's with the selection of John C. Calhoun, popular with members of the aforementioned parties, as Prime Minister.
