You wouldn't want Arnold anywhere near the White House, imagine what kind of traitor he could be if he were President of the United States.I think Washington would have been faced with a choice of who to send to take Gates place after Camden- Arnold or Greene.
My thought is that Greene would still have been the choice. Arnold would have stayed with Washington outside of New York. Washington could have brought Arnold with him to Yorktown or left him in charge of the forces outside New York.
After the war, I would suspect that Arnold would become active in politics, probably in the Federalist party. How far he would have gone, I'm not sure. Does anyone out there know about the relationship between Alexander Hamilton and Arnold? That might have been a factor in Arnold's post Revolutionary War career.
