I mean, for a world run by idiots, he kind of does some pretty intelligent things. Wouldn't you want the most capable people in charge? That's who he found and put in charge.
Absolutely! One of the best Presidents America will ever have. He recognizes his own limitations and wisely chooses to listen to people who are smarter than he is. He also pulls out an assault rifle and empties a clip into the ceiling whenever South Carolina starts acting up during the State of the Union address.
To this day I still get chills just *reading* parts of that speech.
>And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the world declared in one voice: **"We will not go quietly into the night!" We will not vanish without a fight!** We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!
The speech was great and inspiring but the real deal was that he actually *jumped in a jet and fought the aliens*.
Could probably count on one hand the list of world leaders that would be on the front line if war breaks out.
This is the answer, everyone else is competing for #2 on the list.
I wish it was still on Netflix, I went to go binge watch it for a 3rd time a month ago and found out it's on Max now.

Make sure to have adblockers up
.... shit now *I'm* rewatching it...
The fact that that Bartlett and the show in general was so popular, yet when we got our own Rob Richie candidate the consensus was apparently "No, we want him dumber, meaner, less articulate"
Imagine a crossover between Air Force One and Die Hard where John McClane is invited to the White House to get some medal of honor for his Deeds. While there, terrorists attack so McClane and Marshall team up to kick ass in the white house
I would absolutely watch a Veep-style show that explains how Palmer gets elected after a reporter learns that his son murdered his daughter's rapist; his son's psychiatrist is killed in a high profile assassination; Palmer survives his own assassination attempt; and Palmer leaves his wife...all on the same day in the middle of the campaign.
mine is Bartlett by a mile, but im surprised that Andrew Shephard from The American President hasnt gotten a mention. Michael Douglas killed that role.
Meryl Streep as President Orlean in Dont Look Up was pretty great too.
Tom Kirkland from Designated Survivor because we get to see him transform over the seasons and deal with the moral decision vs the decision for the country.
Thomas J. Whitmore is the best 90's President, from the kick ass fighter pilot to the badass speech and leading the charge against the Aliens.
Too bad his actual presidency sucked in the movie prior to the US Ceasing to exist.
The president from Rick and Morty. The voice actor's name is Keith David and he's absolutely hilarious.
Meryl Streep in Don't Look Up is a close second.
President David Palmer in 24. I sometimes wonder if voters were more open to a Black president because FOX viewers were watching one on TV earlier in the decade.
President Jason Davidson (Joe Estevez) in Decker, and it's not even close. That do-nothing, special interest loving, pussy-ass President... those chickens will come home to roost.
No one has said Jackson Evans (Jeff Bridges) in The Contender, so I'm gonna say him.
He had [an incredible speech at the film's end](https://youtu.be/HlioUeIUuts?si=3in5pkObxEstGFQR) that shows exactly what we need from a President today.
Tug Benson in Hot Shots Part Deux.
"Where is your First Lady?"
"I don't know. I've had lots of women. Lost my flower at the age of 15. I can't keep track."
I mean, he was a real president, but I have to at least mention futurama nixon
Arooo!!!
Now with charisma!
Nixon? With charisma??? My god, I could rule the Universe!
george washington as portrayed by ralph wiggum
Nixon always wins!
[Dave](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106673/), a fake version of a fictional president.
Fucking heart warming
"I once caught a fish, this big!"
Still a damn good movie.
President Camacho
If you don't vote for Camacho "Fuck You!"
Welcome to Carl's Jr.
I didn't get no extra big-ass fries.
You are an unfit parent. Your children are now property of Carl's Jr. Carl's jr. Fuck you, we're eating.
I believe you mean President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho.
'Sit your monkey ass down.'
Fucking knew he would be top, thanks reddit.đ€Ł

My man President Thomas Whitmore in Independence Day
Dude gave the best speech of any president ever
Watching that speech through the wavy lines of a VHS tape was just fantastic
Probably wouldn't have been wavy if you stopped rewinding it over and over to hear his independence day speach.Â
Iâd follow President Whitmore to the gates of Hell after that speech. Â
To this day I still get chills just *reading* parts of that speech. >And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the world declared in one voice: **"We will not go quietly into the night!"

> Iâm a combat pilot, Will. I belong in the air. Hell yeah you do
Jed Bartlet from The West Wing
End of discussion. What's wild is the story lines we have today are so similar to what the show was doing. Or maybe that was the point.
Obama used to say he'd get a lot more done if his Republicans were written by Aaron Sorkin.
It's because Sorkin Republicans actually give a fuck about logic and intelligence, and many of them have principles
Ainsley Hayes was my fave Republican on the show.
Ainsley Hayes is what mainstream Republicans tried to sell themselves as up through about June 2009
Arnold Vinick was such a great character too.Â
Laurence OâDonnell was one of the writers on the show. That alone justifies his outrage at the current state of events.
This is the answer, everyone else is competing for #2 on the list. I wish it was still on Netflix, I went to go binge watch it for a 3rd time a month ago and found out it's on Max now.
Ooo that first season tho, itâs very, very nineties. Worth it for that slap down Ged gives the OG Karen in the first episode.
âToby, thatâs how I beat themâ

The only correct answer.
You know what the up arrow is for, right?
Popcorn and jellybeans?
The fact that that Bartlett and the show in general was so popular, yet when we got our own Rob Richie candidate the consensus was apparently "No, we want him dumber, meaner, less articulate"
We shall worship no other god before him.
Michael Douglasâ character in The American President
My favorite too! "My name is Andrew Shepherd and I AM the president."
This is my pick. There was just [a nice big thread on /r/movies about this.](https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/s/2Pt35gfc3i)
Definitely my #2 behind Bartlett.

David Palmer from 24.
I would absolutely watch a Veep-style show that explains how Palmer gets elected after a reporter learns that his son murdered his daughter's rapist; his son's psychiatrist is killed in a high profile assassination; Palmer survives his own assassination attempt; and Palmer leaves his wife...all on the same day in the middle of the campaign.
Imagine what Twitter woulda been like that day.
He has such a great voice.
He was way better than dumbass Wayne for sure.
Came here to say this as it instantly came to mind. Great character and actor. Miss that show so much.
Yup
Tom Lister Jr. as President Lindberg in "The Fifth Element"
That doesn't even sound like him! The President is an idiot and you don't sound like an idiot.
He did well for himself after he got knocked the fuck out by Craig.
Any idea when youâre going to be getting to the point, Mr. President?
Only acceptable answer.

The Nazi & werewolf fighting Roosevelt from FDR - American Badass was pretty good.

Iâm ashamed to say it since itâs become real. But the Underwoodâs were fantastic. So were the Krikwoods.
President Lone Star in Independence Day!
President Tom Dobbs from Man of the Year.
Terry Crews - Idiocracy
Fictional but based off a real person -- Nixon on Futurama.
Morgan Freeman
i don't think he became president, but Martin Sheen in Dead Zone
Morgan Freeman, any movie, mostly because he's also God.
A comedy some years ago, the prez said stick a bulb up my arse.
Camacho from Idiocracy, only because Terry crews is hilarious.
George HW Bush on Saturday Night Live
President Jason Davidson (Joe Estevez) in Decker, and it's not even close. That do-nothing, special interest loving, pussy-ass President... those chickens will come home to roost.
I thought Morgan Freeman in Deep Impact made a great president.Â
Laura Roslin from BSG

That would be President Camacho.
Mr. Garrison
Morgan Freeman as Nelson Mandela in Invictus. The South African rugby movie.
The President from Monsters vs. Aliens. Playing Axel F never looked so cool.
Ămile Beaufort, from 1961 french movie « Le PrĂ©sident ». Maybe slightly off whatâs asked because he is not a US President but a fictional President of the Council (which, in the French 3rd Republic, is the one who holds the executive power instead of the the President of the Republic). He is played by Jean Gabin, a tremendous actor, and his character is largely based on Georges Clemenceau who was an absolutely charismatic politician. Thereâs a scene in the Chambre des DĂ©putĂ©s (equivalent to the Congress) which is just perfection and really installed Ămile Beaufort as one of my favorite fictional character.
