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.
