Not a President. What if one house of Congress writes bills and then approve it. Once approved goes to the Second House of Congress that is ruled by 2 major parties and 3 minor parties. The 5 party members elect one member from their party to represent them as Leader of the Houses and Court. These 5 individuals are then elected by the people via a popular vote.
What do you think the US be like if this was the current system?

When we fought the British for Independence, Britain had a Parliament that was very similar to what they have today. That was the reason we went to war. They were taxing the colonies and the colonies had no say in anything(no representation in Parliament.)

These "what if?" questions are always nothing but a waste of pixels.
There is simply no way to create an alternate political history that spans 250 years. There are too many ways to spin all the alternatives to make the question valid in any way.
When the United States won it's independence, we chose a different form of democracy than that of our former motherland. No one can ever adequately answer this 'what if?' because so much time has passed since then. The United States has no experience as a nation with the parliamentary system at all.
The only thing in it that we use is their rules of order, but those rules are older than the British Parliament. They go all the way back to the Roman republic.
