Plausibility Check: Hamilton as President

I doubt that Hamilton would consider breaking Washington's 2 term policy. Hamilton realized that he could nor ever should break a precedent set by Washington. We would likely see a 2 term Hamilton that remains very active in Federalist Policies, even possible become Governor or Senator from NY. Plus with Hamilton as President i could see Hamilton making Washington Head General of American forces causing Washington to live longer because he doesn't catch pneumonia.

You need to figure out who will be in Hamilton's Cabinet
I am planning on keeping Washington alive, although not past 1805. He was pretty old for the time when he died OTL (67 years?).

As for Hamilton's cabinet, I could see J.Q.A. possibly becoming Secretary of State, but I need to look into his diplomatic career pre-1800.

Washington didn't exactly limit himself to two terms for noble reasons. At the end of his second term he drew heavy criticism and he was afraid that he might lose, attempting to get a third term.

Hamilton, being a crypto-monarchist, would have no problem breaking the two-term policy.

as a possible POD: the death of john Laurens in 1782 was at a useless battle on a river in georgia. have him live and you give Hamilton an anti-slavery member of South Carolina artisocracy. just a thought. I can't wait to see what you turn out
