It is, in some contexts, not legal to use the actual image of the President of the United States for commercial purposes (''[[Contact (film)|Contact]]'', a film starring [[Jodie Foster]], came under some fire for re contextualizing actual footage of [[Bill Clinton]] for their own purposes).

* ''[[It's My Life|ITS MY LIFE!]]'': By the end of the first fan fiction "the President" appears to give most of the protagonists medals, but it is not revealed who he is. (And, because of the confusing writing, one would assume he is [[Portal 2|Cave Johnson.]]) By TEEN FORTRESS 2 we figure out that he is... [[Abraham Lincoln]].
 
 
Line 134 ⟶ 135:
* In a highly controversial exception, the film ''The Death of a President'' digitally superimposes the face of [[George W. Bush]] onto an actor as he is killed by a sniper.
* A clip of [[Ronald Reagan]] appeared in the film of ''[[Alien Nation (film)|Alien Nation]]'', the producers using the "If not us, who? If not now, when?" quote from his second inaugural address to reference the legislation that recognized the aliens as refugees (and future citizens).
* ''[[National LampoonsLampoon's Senior Trip]]'', which ostensibly takes place in the mid-1990s, depicts a fictional President who looks less like Bill Clinton and more like Franklin Roosevelt (minus the wheelchair).
* Similarly, the part of the second ''[[Austin Powers]]'' movie that explicitly takes place in 1969 shows Dr. Evil communicating with a nonexistent American President (played by [[Tim Robbins]]) who looks considerably younger and better-looking than [[Richard Nixon]].
