List of fictional U.S. Presidents Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description

Since the office of President of the United States is somewhat hallowed, fiction writers often choose to 'invent' a president in their stories to prevent a real one from being possibly insulted, to avoid having their stories become 'dated' over time, for dramatic license, or to provide literary flexibility.

Presidents are listed in alphabetical order by the first letter in their last name.

Notes

1President Bartlet's comments are meant to make him sound erudite, but frequently misfire – in the example cited, for instance, there has never been a king of Liechtenstein (it is a principality, ruled by a prince); the Prince in 1871 was Johannes II, who was unmarried, and had no daughter; and the United States has no ambassador to Liechtenstein (the Ambassador to Switzerland serves Liechtenstein's needs). It is unclear if this is an "intentional" error (intended to show that Bartlet is sometimes mistaken) or an unintentional error on the part of the writers of The West Wing.
