You pick interesting examples.
Winston Churchill's mother is American and he is also one of 8 people in history to be granted honorary American citizenship. Therefore he is American enough that a case can be made for putting him on a US stamp.
Lafayette would, of course, qualify on his own merits because he was directly important to US history. But in addition he is another of the 8 honorary US citizens in history.
The full list of honorary citizens is at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honorary_citizenship_of_the_United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honorary_citizenship_of_the_Un....
It is worth noting that Mother Theresa is also on that list and actually has a stamp. See https://about.usps.com/postal-bulletin/2010/pb22290/html/info_006.htm https://about.usps.com/postal-bulletin/2010/pb22290/html/inf....
