Under the US Constitution, there can only be one President at a time. If we had two Presidents from different parties they would constantly battle over policies, and the US government would be even less efficient than it is today.
We experimented with allowing the President and Vice-President to represent two different parties (for example, the second President, John Adams, was a Federalist, but his Vice-President, Thomas Jefferson, was a Democratic-Republican), but that didn't work very well because they had such different ideas about how government should be run.
