Technically he could've been president, since article 2 section 1 of the US Constitution states "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." One of the pre-requesits for presidency was being a legal resident of the United States at the time of the adoption of the constitution, which was September 17, 1787. Hamilton immigrated to New York from the Caribbean in 1772, so at the time of the constitution's adoption he was a legal United States citizen. Technically Hamilton was legally eligible for presidency and the only thing stopping Hamilton was most likely the sex scandal he was involved in, which tampered with his reputation.
