I was always partial to President Skroob.

If Arnie Vinick were elected, he would have made the best President I'm sure.

<object width="640" height="470" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"><param name="movie" value="http://player.ordienetworks.com/flash/fodplayer.swf" /><param name="flashvars" value="key=06ae3d8563" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed width="640" height="470" flashvars="key=06ae3d8563" allowfullscreen="true" quality="high" src="http://player.ordienetworks.com/flash/fodplayer.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object>

Kidding aside, I would have to say David Palmer from 24 and James Marshall from Air Force One.

I don't suppose Jack Ryan would count since we haven't been that far with the movies released to date?

Re: Best Fake President?
Kevin Kline in/as "Dave." He's the only one who actually applies, since these others weren't fake presidents, just fictionalized.
