Fictional President Flashback

Seal of the President of the United States.svgSince today is a special occasion (with Americans voting for the future of our nation and perhaps the free world), we decided to have our own special occasion. We asked some of our Today in Fiction contributors to name their favorite presidents--fictional presidents, of course. In no particular order, here they are.

Love Actually.  Because if Billy Bob Thornton can be president, so can I! ~Nate
Independence Day.  Key to getting re-elected: get in a fighter jet and take down huge-ass alien spaceships.  Win!  ~Zayna
Air Force One.  Well, actually I'd vote for Harrison Ford IRL so...  ~Amy
Deep Impact.  If Morgan Freeman delivered the State of the Union, I would listen to the entire thing.  ~Ethan
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.  You didn't say American president, did you?  No?  Then I choose the President of the Galaxy, Zaphod Beeblebrox.  ~Nina
Dave.  Come on.  We'd all vote for Dave.  ~Ashley


And we just want to give a sidelong reference to that epic of film The Adventures of Pluto Nash, which mentions a bill of currency called "the Hillary".
