That's how it started, in my timeline. Washington accepted the crown, but each King had the power to choose his successor - it didn't have to go to a son. Washington chose Adams, but Adams passed the throne to John Quince Adams, who passed it down to his son Charles.

Some, like Thomas Jefferson and the Confederacy were strongly anti-monarch. They have been a sizeable minority throughout this timeline.

The current King is Jeb Bush, who received the throne when his brother George W. resigned after inpending pressure from Congress. He is the third King of the Bush Dynasty.

What do you think?
