[1] After the Constitutional Convention deadlocks, Alexander Hamilton comes forward with a new plan. It creates a "House of Delegates" for the United States, which will elect a Prime Minister. It also creates the office of "National Executive", which would serve as the head of state for a 10 year term. The National Executive is elected by an "electoral college" through a convention style ballot. The National Executive would have the power to convene and dissolve Parliament, and would have the lessened powers of a constitutional monarch. It is approved, and America has its first elections in 1789. Parliament convenes, and selects Adams as Prime Minister. Washington becomes the first National Executive.

[2] Alexander Hamilton, Chancellor of the Treasury during the Washington-Adams Administration and one of the chief architects of the government, rose quickly during those five years. Founding the Conservative faction based on the principles of government outlined in the Constitution [remember, the constitution is different ITTL], in 1794 as Adams' tenure came to a close, Hamilton won a close election for Prime Minister against Republican Thomas Jefferson who himself had served as Minister for Foreign Affairs.

[3] After declaring neutrality in the Anglo-French war in Europe, the US economy began to sink. The Embargo on both countries made the Clinton government unpopular, and it barely survived a vote of no confidence in 1806. The Clinton government was forced to relent, and free trade with both nations resumed. However, as trade resumed, and the economy began to come back, both France and Britain began stopping and in many cases seizing American ships they suspected to be trading weapons with their respective opponents. The 1809 general election saw former PM Hamilton sweep into power as National Executive, and another government for John Adams.

[4] The Hamilton Presidency was focused mainly on domestic policy as the financial genius went to work laying out his plans to build a strong, government backed, American economy that in his eyes would one day compete with the powers of Europe. Meanwhile, the young John Quincy Adams would come to the forefront as a leader of the Conservative party. As an expert in foreign affairs after years as a diplomat, he would work to broker peace between Britain and France while under Hamilton the economy continued to climb. In 1814, John Adams stepped down, leaving John Marshall the new head of the still Conservative government. The 1819 elections would see a nomination fight between John Quincy Adams and John Marshall for the Conservative nomination for National Executive. Meanwhile, the Republicans nominated James Monroe for National Executive and John Calhoun for Prime Minister. In the resulting election, John Quincy Adams was elected National Executive, but would find himself facing a House opposed to him, headed by John C. Calhoun.
