No, he was never president because he was more interested in developing solutions which he did while reporting to President Washington. Contrary to popular misconception, the US Constitution said that anyone that was a member of one of the states as of the adoption of the US Constitution (Sept. 17, 1787) was eligible for federal office including President. Since Hamilton was a member of NYS in spring of 1782, he was eligible to be President...though he NEVER expressed an interest in theat. He was a founding father and the chief of staff to General Washington in 1777 and President George Washington in 1789. In total that relationship lasted over 22 years!

∙ 13y agoNo. Alexander Hamilton never became President of the United States. He was the first Secretary of the Treasury under George Washington.
Contrary to popular belief, Alexander Hamilton's birth on the Isle of Nevis in the British West Indies would not have prevented him from seeking or holding Presidential Office. Article II of the Constitution contains a provision exempting men who were citizens at the time the Constitution was adopted from having to be "natural born citizens" in order to serve as President.
Article II, Section 1
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; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty five years, and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States.

∙ 13y agoNo. Alexander Hamilton served as the first Secretary of the Treasury under George Washington. He never campaigned for higher office, and probably had too many enemies to be a serious candidate, anyway.
Many people mistakenly believe Hamilton didn't qualify to run for President because he wasn't a "natural born citizen," having been born on the Isle of Nevis in the British West Indies; however, Hamilton had emigrated to America in 1771, at age 17, and had served in the Revolutionary War under General (later President) Washington.
Hamilton was one of the Framers of the Constitution, and would have been eligible to serve in any office under a provision in Article II that made an exception to the "natural born" rule for men residing in the US when the Constitution was adopted.
Article II, Section 1:
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; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty five years, and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States.
