George Washington!. The White House was first occupied by John Adams, the second president, in 1800, when it became the official residence!. Washington had left office in 1797!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

They all spoke American, as well as their own native tongue, so no just because Van Buren was Dutch was that only spoke!.
