I would have to go with Harrison Ford in Air Force One. Except he lived a little longer than the other Harrison president did


ETA: because all presidents are capable of solely foiling a plot to hijack Air Force One

John Travolta as Bill Clinton in Primary Colors. Knocked up a black teenager and everything just like the real McCoy.

House of cards minus killing people. The legislative process portion with him bullying people and trading favors for votes is spot on.

Donald trump as himself on the celebrity apprentice. He's just as big of an a-hole in real life

I don't know if I buy the scene where the President is hanging on for dear life from the outside of a moving airplane.

If that's the only thing in the movie that you question its validity you might be retarded.

The world around Frank Underwood combined with Veep is supposed to be exactly what Washington is like.

Speaking from experience, it's damn near identical to house of cards. Favors, back room deals, blackmailing. It's all there.

Agree with OP. I think The think The Ides of March is a pretty realistic portrayal as well.

Have you never heard of President strength? It's kind of like old man strength or retard strength but even more powerful, thats how Millard Fillmore was able to throw that guy through the brick wall in his second term

It's possible that I'm retarded, but I never actually said that's the only thing that I questioned from that movie.

Over/Under on the number of Congressmen that have woke up next to a dead hooker? I'll set the number at 5.
