Jefferson was a totally obvious choice as a candidate. He was a leader in the revolutionary government from the beginning, doing everything but actually fight in the field of battle. He was known in the capitals of Europe and had served in Washington's cabinet as well as vice-president under Adams. He had had executive experience as the governor of Virginia. Moreover he was brilliant and honest.

That man was a good candidate for the job because he was well qualified.
The ballpoint pen became commercially viable in the late 1930's - a long time after Jefferson went to his reward.

When one refers to a job candidate as being viable, it means they are qualified and may considered further in the hiring process. It is a good thing to be a viable employee.
"Freeborn white men" were the class that Jefferson would have referred to, since the concept of slavery was still viable in Europe in the 18th century. Later leaders, including Abraham Lincoln, questioned how human rights would not apply equally to slaves.

There is no law that sets a maximum age and people vary in their decline as they age. From a practical standpoint, an older person who might otherwise be a viable candidate for president would find it hard to get the nomination and be elected. The campaign is physically grueling and younger voters are not likely to vote for anybody who seems old and feeble. Also, it is bad for the country if a president can not complete his term and the party wants someone who can serve for two terms.
He didn't! First of all, electricity was discovered, not invented. The Greeks first discovered electricity by realizing that rubbing amber on fur caused an attraction between the two - think static electricity. William Gilbert coined the term 'electric' from a similar Greek word. Most people commonly believe Ben Franklin was the 'father' of electricity, but he wasn't. His observations did lead to the invention of the lightning rod, however. A good first step. In 1800, physicist Alessandro Volta constructed the voltaic pile, later known as the electric battery. It was Volta, not Franklin, who discovered that certain chemical reactions could produce electricity. It wasn't until 1831 that electricity became viable for use in technology. English scientist Michael Faraday created the electric dynamo, a precursor of modern power generators. This invention opened the door to the new era of electricity. A few decades later, Joseph Swan invented the light bulb.
