    For USA? Roland Crane, since his only act shown in his office was getting offed by missile strike.

    When he wasn’t trying to engage in his favorite pastime of killing and vilifying Superman, Lex Luthor was a pretty good President all things considered.

      He knew things were bad and had the will to see them fixed, despite what the Representative from North Carolina said.

        Also once Camacho found the world’s smartest man, he demanded his help

        As opposed to decrying him as a woke pansy intellectual and deporting him

      Bill Pullman is best president

      Also I dunno why I always get chills when I hear this obviously cheesy line. He sold it.

        Easily one of the best movie speeches of all time. I remember seeing it in a theater in NYC when it was first released, and the entire auditorium went apeshit.

      he was a good man - but he gave up the presidency temporarily after lying about having MS, frequently engaged in black ops in other countries, shut down the government like Trump, and knowingly employed an alcoholic who was constantly relapsing during the campaign trail as his chief of staff. Also his communications director leaked military secrets, his press secretary was in a suspicious relationship with a journalist, his wife committed medical fraud and due to knock on affects of his security protocol he and his speech writer are shot, he and his senior staff are exposed to a potential chemical weapon and quarantined, several secret service agents are killed during active service protecting the first family, and during some of these killings his daughter is kidnapped.

      His administration was a mess lol

    Donald Trump. Because he’d be fictional and not real.

      As long as it’s an actor/actress who played the president in something.

        Well in comparison it would be all of them. In general, I’d say Bill Pullman.

    Stephen Colbert. Though iirc in the marvel universe he won the popular vote but lost the EC vote to Obama.

    He still would be a good president.
