He is summoned after the election results by force of law and then he isn't allowed to disappear until his term is up.
Not summoning a duly elected captain planet is punishable by no less than 6 years arguing against fox news propagandists and a fine of 3,600 dark chocolate bars paid to me personally. The impact of cocoa production on the environment would be an extra screw turn, forcing their hand.
Brother she would be perfectly happy with Trump as president as long as that bitch Trudy Beekman lost all of her savings first.
If anyone from the archer cast is president im going Lana > Cyril > Pam > Krieger (The last would ensure our destruction, but we would certainly go out in a memorable way).
Both of the archers are right up there with Cheryl/Carol/Charlene for piss poor candidacy.
Eh.... idk man. Barry was redeemable at the end and barring a few cases, was surprisingly competent. Pretty sure we got spray tan Cheryl. (Nepo baby, you're never sure if theyre on drugs or just severely mentally deficient, and definitely unironically uses the phrase, "the poors")
They're literally the same character, other than the fact that Lucille has to be more manipulative than Mallory. Mallory gets shit done directly because she is directly in charge. Lucille manipulates everyone around her, and gets shit done indirectly. It isn't as efficient, but it's the only path she has.
Out of the big three captains, Janeway would likely make the most capable president. Kirk would constantly be trying to fist fight politicians, Picard would quickly be bored with the day-to-day and would vanish to go work on an archeological site somewhere.
Sisko would throw Mitch McConnell off the roof of the White House, then fall off of it himself.
Princess Caroline. She can make deals, is passionate about her work but also her family. She would make this country function and function well and she'd never stop till it was done.
All those "women can't be president" douchebags would shut the fuck up and start becoming "nice guys" which would be cringy but at least it would get them to stop sabotaging the rest of us.
Spock would likely make a terrible president, purely because heâd be surrounded by illogical politicians who are constantly trying to backstab him. You need a president who is capable of not only being level-headed, but also capable of playing politics when it matters. The unfortunate truth is that politics often requires playing the long game, instead of simply finding consensus and getting shit done right away.
Sure, he wants to kill Superman, that's not the best political stance, but other than that he'll basically just focus on fixing everything else that slows society down in order to have a society that's better at killing Superman.
Plus it's not like he's successful at killing Superman. So really it's a win-win.
There are many, many cartoon characters I would vote for over Trump, all the way down to other villainous incompetents like Dick Dastardly or Elmer Fudd.
I don't think he'd want the job, but he would do it were he asked and give it 110%. He's no nonsense, a facts-based decision maker, and he listens to people's issues and makes fair decisions if it's what you want to hear or not. He's also not too full of himself to admit when he's been wrong. He seeks out experts on matters outside of his experience and respects their opinions. He loves his country and looks to do right by those that entrust him with a job.
He would also probably be unfortunately remembered as a terrible president a la Jimmy Carter, as he'd likely trust a number of people he shouldn't to keep their word, he'd be too compromising for a lot of people, and I don't think people would like his "lack of personality" they'd get from his public persona. I think Hank would be a top-notch cabinet member though! I would totally support him for any of a number of different ones.
Scrooge McDuck (Duck Tales version). Dude knows how to manage people and balance a budget. Sure he might occasionally get obsessed with some treasure in the middle east but that's no different than most presidents.
Do comic books count? If yes I'd say Spider Jerusalem from Transmetropolitan. If no, General Hunter Gathers from Venture Bros or Dale Gribble from King of the Hill. Maybe Uncle Duke from Doonesbury.
Just for the comedy that might ensue from how horrible of a president he'd be, my vote is Principal Dr. Cinnamon J. Scudworth with Buttlertron as his VP.
Either that, or if possible, as a slightly more serious answer, why not have someone like an actual scientist like Professor Professor from The Secret Show with Name Changed Daily as the VP ( or vice versa )? They already run a not-so-secret spy organization, so why not?
