Alexander Hamilton was never elected President (or Vice-President). He served as the first Secretary of the Treasury under President Washington from 1789 until his resignation in 1795, and never held public office again. Hamilton was killed as the result of a duel with Vice-President Aaron Burr in 1804.

Franklin D. Roosevelt was the only US president to be elected to more than two terms. He died during his fourth term and was succeeded by Harry Truman. The Twenty-Second Amendment, ratified in 1951, now limits a President's term of office to two elections, or ten years if he (or she) serves less than two years of the last President's term.Amendment XXII (excerpt)"No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once."


How did the federalists try to convence the public to ratify the Constitution?

Alexander Hamilton was the Father of the Federalist Papers. He conceived of the idea a month after the Constitutional Convention had approved the US Constitution on September 17, 1787. He finished the first while traveling down the Hudson River from Albany to NYC. He invited William Duer and Gouverneur Morris but Duer wasn't up to the task and Morris was too busy. Then Hamilton got John Jay and James Madison to join his as coauthors.To find out more, got to the Alexander Hamilton Awareness Society and look at their September newsletter.
