At the time, there was some speculation that he might have been made VP were it not for his age, I believe.
Had he been born twenty years later, Franklin would have made a great president. Like Washington, he had the patience and the foresight to set a good example for future chief executives, and his experience as a diplomat would have come in handy in the tumult of the French Revolution. Next to Washington, he was probably the most respected man in America, and the general's reluctance to assume the presidency (which appears to have been genuine) might have led him to step aside if Franklin was next in line.
