Hamilton was never elected President. He was Secretary of the Treasury I believe, but not President. He was shot by Aaron Burr, a former Vice President

He was grandfathered in by the constitution itself, which was done so that we could have a president before 1811!
“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;”
That was done so that we could have a president. it is now irrelevant obviously.

He was born in the West Indies, never ran for president, and was exempt from the natural born requirement because he was born before 1789.

Hamilton was President? Learn something new every day.

Maybe because Alexander Hamilton never became president? He was shot dead by Aaron Burr, a former Vice President in a duel. Alexander Hamilton was Washington’s Secretary of the Treasury (as well as his former aide de camp while serving in the Continental Army). Burr was Thomas Jefferson’s VP.
