"I was elected to lead, not to read."
Weird. I always thought that was Rainier Wolfcastle who said that. He was sort of the Simpsons universe version of Arnold Schwartzenegger. And the same actor did the voice of Arnold that normally does Wolfcastle.
The line is from the movie, so they break a few of their usual rules.
They'll have to pass the 61st Amendment first.

Does Nixonβs head in Futurama count?
LOL I donβt see why not!
Bernie Sanders.
He can still win! Just a few more donations is all it takes.
Keith David makes a great Vice President too: https://saintsrow.fandom.com/wiki/Keith_David

President Lindberg (Tiny Lister from The Fifth Element). Ok, maybe he was the whole worlds president, but he was so cool.

President Lisa Simpson
I mean, Bartlett, but also James Marshall (Harrison Ford - Air Force One) and Thomas Whitmore (Bill Pullman - ID4).
The Fifth Elementβs president.
Not sure if he counts as US President, but they never clarified if he was the president of the US or the world or whatever, so he still counts! π

Donald Trump. I can't believe there are people who think he could actually get elected. The American people aren't that stupid.

The only one I can think of is the one from Rick and Morty
I would love if we had a president like the guy from Designated Survivor, someone who cared more about doing the best job for the people without his ego being the focus. Which actually might also be true about Comacho

Donald Trump
Oh, wait. He wasn't fictional...
True story. After the 2016 election, there was a panel discussion. They invited the creators of all the top political TV show; West Wing; Veep; House of Cards; Scandal, and others. Every participant said the same thing; that if they'd had a character say that he 'liked soldiers who didn't get captured' the networks and advertisers would have demanded that the character be kicked to the curb by the whole nation. Trump is stranger than fiction

The Boss from Saints Row IV. Intro was stupid fun, rest of the game was...ehhh
Richard Nixon's head in a jar, from Futurama
Walternate from Fringe. Absolutely beautifully acted and exactly what I'd expect from a man who had his child abducted from a parallel version of himself.
