Twenty-second and twenty-fourth U.S. President Stephen Grover Cleveland [March 18, 1837-June 24, 1908] was the last president not to have spent any years in college. He attended Fayetteville and Clinton Liberal academies, in New York. But he dropped out of school, in 1853, when his father died. So he didn't complete the equivalent of a high school education. The following year, he turned down an offer of support for a college education that was premised on becoming a Presbyterian minister.
Andrew Johnson is the United States President that never attended school. Once he was married, his wife tutored him. Johnson was the 17th US President.
Andrew Johnson did not go to school but had some informal private lessons from various people including his wife.

Benjamin Franklin didn't attend college...(or is it collage nya?) The educational background of the Founding Fathers was diverse. Some, like Franklin, were largely self-taught and had received scant formal training. Others had obtained instruction from private tutors or at academies. About half of the individuals had at tended or graduated from college in the British North American colonies or abroad. Some men held advanced and honorary degrees. For the most part, the delegates were a well-educated group.
The electoral college elects the US president. When the people vote for president, they are actually voting for the electors who made up the electoral college and who actually elect the president. The electors pledge to support one particular candidate. The electors never meet as a group but each elector votes in his state capital and the votes are sent to the Senate president. They are counted in a joint session of Congress.
Henry Ford was never president
