Alexander Hamilton was never president. The highest office he held was that of Secretary of the Treasury. Becoming president would involve exploiting a loophole in the Constitution (he was not born in the colonies but in the Caribbean and was only a US citizen because he was around at the signing of the Constitution), and he didn't want the job anyways.
Alexander Hamilton wanted to save the young United States from the post-Revolutionary war depression it sank into. In addition to his controversial fiscal program, the bank would help accomplish this feat. The bank would serve as a depository for government funds.

It served the purpose of becoming president or getting revenge on someone else. For example, Aaron Burr felt that Alexander Hamilton had disrespected him. A duel was the only answer as far as Burr was concerned. Each man chose a pistol and stood back to back. They turned and fired to each other. When the smoke cleared, Alexander Hamilton lay dead. An illustrious career was ended with a single shot.
The vice president serves as president of the senate. There are 100 Senators, and if there is ever a tie in the senate, the vice president gets to cast the winning vote. If the vice president is not available, somebody else will serve, he is called the president pro tempore.
