loved his last line.

While Mr.Hamilton was an aide-de-camp to General Washington, he never was the President of the U.S. First, he was not a natural born citizen. He was born in St Kitts & Nevins in the Caribbean which would disqualify him as a candidate. However he did serve as the first Secy of the Treasury, Delegate to the Constitutional Convention, Delegate to the Congressional Confederation and was the founder of the New York Post newspaper.

I think a deeper reading of history reveals that Hamilton was indeed the executor behind the figurehead of Washington, so the confusion dates back to the 18th century. Napolean believed as much if I'm not mistaken, which is why he fled North America following Jefferson's brusque and violent removal of his three greatest political enemies: Alex, John and Aaron.

I read most of Hamiltons work.

Never heard him say that. Just Jeffersonian speculation

Not only wasn't Alexander Hamilton never President of the United States he wasn't originally in favor of the idea of democratic republic. He wanted a monarchy for the colonies.
