In 1796 George Washington declined to run for a third term so as not to appear like a king. In 1802, Napoleon angled to get himself named Consul for life. Is there any evidence that Washington's decision affected Napoleon's ambitions?

Was there any comparison between the two at the time of Napoleon's consolidation of power?

Alternatively, is there any evidence that Washington considered running for president indefinitely?
