President Jack "Kill the Commies" Preston

    * President in: Whoops Apocalypse (film, 1986)
    * Author of the book "Commie Bastards I have known."
    * Presumably not a communist.
    * Played by: Murray Hamilton


President "The Wacko"

    * President in World War Z
    * Was a rising, outspoken political star before the Great Panic
    * Is appointed as Vice-President of the United States after "The Big Guy" is sworn in

President Widmark
President in: The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension
Widmark is confined, either temporarily or permanently, to a specially made hospital bed due to an undisclosed back ailment. In early versions of the script, he is confined there due to mental instability. His advisors include General Catburd of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Secretary of Defense McKinley, Senator Cunningham, and National Security Advisor Smirnoff.
Declares war on the Soviet Union by signing the "Short Form" of the Declaration of War, under pressure from the Black Lectroids. Presumably rescinds the declaration after Dr. Buckaroo Banzai defeats the Red Lectroids, ending the confrontation.
Quote: "Buckaroo, I don't know what to say...Lectroids? Planet 10? Nuclear extortion? A girl named John?"
Played by: Ronald Lacey

Another favorite from Mr. Show, also played by Jay Johnston:

President Guy "Whitey" Corngood

I only think he appears when he's entering a car, giving a thumbs up for something. Can't remember what. (Nerds?)

Is that in the blow up the moon sketch, maybe?

President: Dean Bitterman, I hope nothing unsavory happens during my visit.  As you know, I am the President of the United States.

Dean: Oh, don't worry.  I've expelled those rowdy members of Chugalug house.

Homer: [watching] Ohh, I hate that lousy Dean!

Corey:  Your Bra Bomb better work, Nerdlinger!
 
Nerd: Hey!

[Corey presses the plunger; an explosion occurs in the background]
[Many colors of bras rain down on the Dean and the President]

Dean: Corey?!  Don't worry, Mr. President, I --
        [looks over, sees the President dancing and enjoying himself]
       Mr. President!

President: Lighten up, Bitterman...that youngster will make a perfect addition to my cabinet.  Secretary of Partying Down!

Dean: [growls; a bra falls on his head]

Homer: [triumphant] Yes!  Take that, Bitterman!

Thanks, Senor.  It's great to be back.  

Reality, I didn't think I would ever miss it.
