I also prefer "Clinton was elected president..." over "Clinton was elected the president..."
I don't see "president" as being uncountable in either sentence.
There are many instances where we don't use an article before the name of a profession.
"As professor of English at UCLA, I would like to recommend my student to your program."
"He was appointed head of the Logistics Group."
"Dr. Jones was promoted to chief of surgery at Mercy Hospital."
