The following is a list of fictional presidents of the United States, N through R.
N President Elaine Nakamura President in: Time Trax (TV series) By the year 2093 she is mentioned as one of the great presidents along with Abraham Lincoln and John Shaw.
President Gary Nance President in: Dave (movie, 1993) Originally the Vice President to President William Harrison Mitchell. After Mitchell suffers a heart attack and is left comatose, his lookalike Dave Kovic is convinced by White House Chief of Staff Bob Alexander to continue impersonating him, claiming that Nance was mentally unhinged. Nance was scapegoated for financial crimes relating to the First Liberty Savings and Loan by Alexander as part of a plot to become President, hoping that Nance would be forced out of office and that he would be nominated as his successor (whereupon Kovic would fake a stroke and allow Alexander to succeed 'Mitchell' as President). Nance is sent on a twelve-nation goodwill tour of Africa (including to Togo and Burundi) to keep him away from Washington D.C. while the scandal developed. After Alexander implicates Mitchell in the First Liberty scandal as revenge for Kovic firing him, Nance is exonerated of his alleged involvement in the scandal after Kovic presents evidence (provided by White House Communications Director Alan Reed) demonstrating Mitchell's and Alexander's involvement to a joint session of Congress. Convinced of Nance's honourable ethics and morals, Kovic fakes another stroke and switches places with the still-comatose Mitchell to allow Nance to succeed to the presidency and to return to his normal life. After serving for five months as acting president, Nance is inaugurated as the forty-fifth President upon Mitchell's death. Reed possibly becomes either his vice president or chief of staff. To preserve and honor Mitchell's legacy, Nance champions and succeeds in passing into law a job guarantee bill proposed by Kovic. Left a career as a shoe salesmen to become a city councilman, having operated on a shoestring budget with his wife acting as his campaign manager. Played by: Ben Kingsley

After becoming President, a Vought-American executive directs his policymaking, namely the de facto shutdown of all CIA operations. Formerly a Vought-American CEO, Vought-American intended to install Neuman as President to permit the inclusion of superhumans in the US military by assassinating Shaefer, believing that Neuman could never win an election in his own right. During the September 11 attacks, during which Shaefer ordered all but one of the hijacked planes to be shot down, Neuman serves as Acting President after Shaefer is knocked unconscious with a fire extinguisher (which no-one witnessed).
