A Elective Monarchy or having made the Washington family into American stadtholder would/'ve helped stabilize America's increasingly erratic foreign policy.
As it stands America is a terrible ally, since God knows what will happen in 4-8 years.

Eh, that was the common approach in the European republics of the era. The Doge of Venice, for instance. They were usually elected to lifetime terms. Granted, the mechanism for electing Doges makes the Electoral College seem straightforward...
