Just curious, but who else aside from George Washington could have been the first US President, with a POD after the end of the American Revolution?
I think having a one year Franklin presidency would be pretty cool. Then maybe John Adams would be his VP, and we'd get an Adams presidency before OTL's time.
Ah, that reminds me. Why exactly could Hamilton not run for president IOTL?
Franklin is out of the question. He was far too old by that point. He would have been roughly 83 in 1789, and died a year later.
Am I the only one who remembers Hamilton was not a US Citizen? well, one born in the United States.
The US Constitution said:No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President
Hamilton falls under the second case, which was arguably written specifically for him.
Franklin/Hamilton Presidency FTW!!!![]()
Hamilton was ineligible for the presidency. Which really is a good thing, in my opinion.
