This November, voters in America will elect the 45th President of the United States of America. From George Washington to Barack Obama, 43 men have held that office (Cleveland is counted twice). Movies and television have told the stories of many of those people, plus a few more conjured from writers’ imaginations.
From October 28 – November 1, it’s time to pick a president!
BLOGATHON RULES:
1. Feel free to write about any film or television show about the President of the United States of America, real or fictional. Or, write about how various films and TV shows present a single president. The choice is yours.

I’ll write on Suddenly, if that’s ok.
You’re all set. Thanks for participating.
What an awesome blogathon idea!! I will get back to you soon and let you know my topic.
I’m glad I stopped by here! I wanted to let you know I just nominated you for a Liebster! http://phyllislovesclassicmovies.blogspot.com/2016/06/another-liebster-award.html
I’ve got you listed. Looking forward to learning your topic.
Would “PT 109” (1963) be ok? It’s about JFK in WWII.
That would be fine.
I’d like to cover Franchot Tone’s portrayal of a U.S. president in Preminger’s 1962 film Advise & Consent if that works for you. My Finding Franchot blog is at http://www.franchottone.blogspot.com.
Sounds great. Franchot Tone is one of my favorite actors.

Hi, lovely! I’d love to write about Young Mr. Lincoln (1939) if that’s alright! This is a great blogathon idea and I’d be happy to be a part of it!

Hi! I’d like to review Wilson (1944), a film recommended by a fellow blogger but one that is regarded as a bomb. I think it’s time to see which is true.
I’m Le from the bilingual blog Critica Retro (www.criticaretro.blogspot.com)
Cheers!
Sounds good.
Hello. Please put me down for 1776!
My blog is Moon in Gemini: https://debravega.wordpress.com/
Will do.
Potential title (unless I come up with a better one): POTUS vs. the Martians.
Featuring two astoundingly different approaches to alien invasions by the POTUS:
Independence Day
Mars Attacks!
Whattya say?
(It was either that or “The President According to Oliver Stone” and covering “W.”, “JFK” and “Nixon”, but this one sounds like it would be more fun…)
I say “Go for it!”
Glad to see you back in action. I was wondering where you went.
Would it be at all possible to pick up “Olympus has Fallen”?
You got it!
Awesome. Thank you!
Hi, It’s Gill from Realweegiemidget Reviews, can I do The American President with Michael Douglas? xx https://weegiemidget.wordpress.com/
