That means that I (in the past; for example, when I was a child) could never imagine that I can be a president in the future. But I'd like to avoid the verb "can" (can/could be a president). How can I sat that? Maybe this sentence is correct:
"Could I ever imagine that I would be a president"?.....

Could I have ever imagined that I would become the president?

I think "become president" without an article sounds better.
