An only slightly frivolous challenge: Would it be possible to make Donatien Alphonse François, Marquis de Sade, somehow end up in the role of "Washington" in an alternate American Revolutionary War? That is, could he be a successful general leading a young republic to victory against its European rulers and later said republic's first president/consul/governor/first citizen/whatever they end up calling it? The new country doesn't have to correspond perfectly to the United States of our history, and the war doesn't have to be fought against Britain. The country just has to be an American colony declaring itself independent.
The POD can be any point from 1740 and onward.
A perhaps slightly easier challenge is to make him more of a Jefferson, a philosopher-president known for being a thinker rather than a general-president known for fighting the oppressive colonial overlords et cetera. Bonus points for making him both!
