Just in time for primary season, I went over the greatest presidents no one ever voted for (well, not all). These seven public servants are not necessarily good presidents; they have been great at being bad, but they are the most memorable and influential figures of their office. They got stuff done, unlike most real world politicians (and none of them are good at all). So here are the seven greatest presidents who get results (and just so happened to never exist).
7. President Skroob
The dashing president of planet Spaceball President Skroob finds out his planet is running out of oxygen. While carefully orchestrating a PR campaign to keep the news hush-hush, he sends his flagship on a mission that will save his planet. That mission is to kidnap the Princess Vespa and hold her for random to be paid in her planet’s air. Brilliant plan, though maybe not presidential at first glance. Then you realize all Skroob is trying to do is save himself, I mean his people. Yeah, he’s kind of an idiot and he gets his head flipped around in a teleporter, but it’s Mel Brooks and who doesn’t want him as president. I rest my case.
6. President Head of Richard Nixon
People in the future have the same crappy memories we do. Nixon’s head, kept alive in a jar of futuristic liquid, becomes president of the United States of Earth on the series Futurama. He first gains mobility by taking control of various robot bodies, including the crude, lude dude Bender. Nixon’s head pushes Earth into an insanely aggressive interstellar policy, starting many wars and getting invaded even more. Yes, this is a man’s head with conviction and determination to get stuff, no matter how pointless, done.
