Hail to the Fictional Chief! Vote for the Best TV President

Leaders from West Wing, 24 and more make our list of nominees

Today is a very important day for our country, and after you help decide the next president of the United States, you might find yourself addicted to voting. Sorry, this election comes but once every four years, but lucky for you, we need your help to pick the best fictional president! It's kind of the same thing, right?

The small screen has had many commanders in chief over the years. Oftentimes the whole show revolves around them, while other series have had them in place to deal with some kind of crisis and/or Event.

Check out our list of TV presidents, and then cast your vote for your favorite one. If we managed to forget someone in the poll, exercise your right to head on down to the comments and yell at us.
