I've always (rightly or wrongly) equated the office of President to that of an elected monarchy anyway.

I'm sure something could be engineered to give Washington or one of his peers the title of King - or have it happen later similar to what happened in Republican/Napoleonic France. Might have to have an earlier POD to make it feasible though.
