Ben Franklin lived most of his life in an English colony and there wasn't a "United States" until the constitutional convention when he was 81 years old. So, he never had the chance to be president since the office didn't exist until he was too old. He was so crippled with gout in the constitutional convention that he had to be carried into the room with sedan chair carried by prisoners from the jail. He was the oldest delegate in the convention.

Was benjerman Franklin a us president?
No. By the time the constitution was in place Franklin was 81 years old ( the oldest man in the convention) and he wasn't well. He had gout ( everyday he was carried in a chair into the convention) and he was popular with people but he couldn't keep a secret and he liked to flirt. He was very much a rascal and involved in some shady dealings in England and France. No one in the convention would have voted for him.
What is a chair carried on poles called?
A "Litter" or "Sedan Chair".
