Seemed like a decent time to ask who everyone’s top five favorite fictional Presidents are.
Before anyone asks, yes they can be portrayals of actual Presidents, and or completely original characters.
Mine, in no particular executive order:
Kiefer Sutherland As President Kirkman (Designated Survivor)
Harrison Ford as President Marshall (Airforce One)
Samuel L. Jackson as President Moore (Big Game)
Tiny Lister as President Lindberg (The Fifth Element)
Bill Pullman as President Whitmore (Independence Day)
