It seems to me that George Washington set the precedent for the US Chief Executive (President) to be a Limited Term Elected Monarch.
So I'm wondering what the absence of George Washington would create when designing the US Executive - assuming that that his absence (early death/nonbirth) enables a rough US to be created and that the President of Congress would still obtain the post of Chief Executive.

so what I'm asking is:

Q1: What alternate models for the US Executive do you think are possible?

and

Q2: Is it possible for there to be a triumvirate?
That is, a President and 2 Deputy Presidents; possibly with each DP elected from each House.
Would each DP take on the role of Secretary for Free / Slave States? Or Executive of the North / South. Would expansion to the west lead for a simlar Executive for the West? And how would these affect the likelyhood of State Secession?

Thoughts, comments, suggestions?
