President Judah P Benjamin

Well, the CSA would have to have adopted a different constitution or amended the criteria for being president. Benjamin was born in the UK.
 
Technically as a creator of an ATL you could have Judah P. Benjamin as President of the Confederacy if you wanted to. I think it would be a little difficult right after Davis tho. Benjamin lives a fairly long life and so if he eventually serves as either the third or fourth president would probably seem more likely. He could easily be a vice-president.
 
Does that even matter since the CSA didn't even exist before most of its pop was born?

Yes, because you either had to be born in the C.S.A. or born in the United States and have been 14 years a resident of the C.S.A. as it was at the time of election prior to 1860. Benjamin could never be President without changing the Constitution.
 
Of course thre is the fact that despite being a very talented politician Benjamin is hated for being a Davis crony and viewed with suspision for being a Jew. All in all Benjamin approval rating in the Confederacy never got above 30% so its highly unlikely that he would ever win an election.
