Hmm... Perhaps during the course of the events that lead to a Romanized US, New York is made into some sort of Protestant Rome?
Nova Eburacum?
Imperium Americana?
Someone do a time-line already!

The Cursus Honorum wasn't anything official, it was just the "career" path, and would have absolutely no impact on the actually effectiveness of the government.
Perhaps have Americans be more favorable to Roman-like architecture. New York having Greco-Roman styled skyscrapers.![]()
Both countries had/have a strong work ethic, yes?
I always thought that a strong work ethic was something the Romans notoriously lacked (although a sense of duty would be an entirely different thing) though I could be wrong.
Stoicism was quite diffused in the late republic/first empire.
I'm afraid that the lack-of-ethic of (expecially late) roman empire is a misconception coming from the about-1700 Gibbon reconstruction, based on late-empire last-pagan-elite criticism of "modern times" as opposed to "good old times".
On the other hand, you cannot use the term as we would use it now: roman "ethic", for example, found civilian slaughtering and slavery perfectly normal
wikipedia said:In 1799, revolutionary France enacted a constitution that conferred supreme executive powers upon three officials that bore the title Consul as chief magistracy of the republic. In reality, however, the state was de facto under personal control of the First Consul, general Napoleon Bonaparte, so in political terms it was more like a re-edition of Julius Caesar's and Octavian's triumvirates.
Originally the consuls were to hold office for a period of ten years, but in 1802 Bonaparte was declared First Consul for life (lifetime consulate was introduced for Second and Third Consuls as well). The French consulate ceased to exist when Bonaparte was declared Emperor of the French in 1804
