A sitcom character elected president of the USA - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Pick a sitcom character that you would elect President. One caveat is that the character has to be an American of age to be President.

Mine is Ron Swanson.

MY FAVORITE: My idea of a perfect government is one guy who sits in a small room at a desk, and the only thing he's allowed to decide is who to nuke. The man is chosen based on some kind of IQ test, and maybe also a physical tournament, like a decathlon. And women are brought to him, maybe...when he desires them.

That rocks.

I've been quite open about this around the office: I don't want this parks department to build any parks because I don't believe in government. I think that all government is a waste of taxpayer money. My dream is to have the park system privatized and run entirely for profit by corporations, like Chuck E. Cheese. They have an impeccable business model. I would rather work for Chuck E. Cheese.

My other choice, Jay Prichett from Modern Family.

I'm liking the Parks & Rec theme of this thread so far. And I second Leslie Knope.

Cool concept.

I think I'd vote for Colonel Potter on MASH. The character was written as someone who was an experienced leader, calm under pressure and willing to lead by example. Also down-home and honest, but well educated, too.

Potter for President!

I vote Julia Sugarbaker (Designing Women) for President with Claire Huxtable (The Cosby Show) as her Vice President.

Good choice! I think Col. Potter would make a fine President.

I would also like to add the names of:

Captain Jean Luc Picard of TNG, and Dr. John Robinson, Lost in Space--Both are either scientists or commanders, but I like both their leadership style.

Neither show is a sitcom per se, more of a series, but I like both characters.
