Éamon de Valera, President of the US?

so Éamon de Valera, father of the Irish Republic, was born in Manhattan, New York, but when he was 2 he was shipped off to live with his mother's brother in Ireland, but what would of happened if this half Cuban half Irish boy had stayed in the US of A? would he still have been Political? would his long life seen him rise to the very top?
 
Would be cool, but he is in the wrong era for a half-Cuban Catholic to gain power in the US. Maybe if Cuba becomes even closer to the US in OTL in the early half of the century...

A bit difficult though to determine what his policies would be as Pres. though as so much IOTL was shaped by the Irish independence movement and Catholic supremacy in Ireland. What would butterflies to do him with a rise to maturity in a nation guided largely by British though and a Protestant majority?

His Father was a White Cuban if that changes anything, any ways in OTL in Ireland he was politically active from 1916 till 1973, so he might have a shot in the 1950s...
