The following is a list of fictional presidents of the United States, C through D.
C President Billy Cabot President in: The Accidental Time Machine In 2180 President Cabot is the first human to witness the Second Coming. Jesus shows up in the Oval Office, anoints the President as his First Bishop and tasks him to proselytize the rest of the nation, which sets off the One Year War. The Army of the Lord, made of Christers who accept the President's visitor as being the returned Jesus, fight the Doubters, who suspect this visitor of being nothing but a hoax. Over the course of the war, New York City, the eastern third of New York State, Miami, Atlanta, large parts of Maryland and Virginia, and various other locations are destroyed. After about half the population on the East Coast is killed and the situation is stabilizes: the United States government, headed by the President-Bishop and with Jesus making frequent appearances and performing various miracles, remains in control of the Eastern Seaboard and cuts itself off completely from the seceding Godless states to its west, known collectively as "Gommorrah" or "Holywood".
President Jack Cahill President in: Chain of Command Played by: Roy Scheider
President Patricia Caldwell President in: Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction and Blacklist Succeeds David Bowers, who was president in the previous Splinter Cell installments. An assassination attempt is made on her life by corrupt elements of Third Echelon, a sub-agency of the NSA. She is rescued by rogue agent Sam Fisher. She orders the termination of Third Echelon and authorizes the launch of Fourth Echelon under the direction of Fisher. She leads the nation's campaign to counter "The Blackist", a series of coordinated terrorist attacks planned against the United States aimed to end America's overseas military presence worldwide. She is re-elected to a second term of office. Party: Democratic
President Steven Calhoun President in: The Boys live-action television series (Season 4). As US Senator for Oklahoma, he refused to support a bill which would have allowed Supes to enlist in the US Armed Forces until he was blackmailed into doing so after being photographed having sex with Doppelgänger (who had taken the form of a young woman). As Speaker of the House of Representatives, he is responsible for overseeing the certification of the 2024 election results. Whilst attending a Federalist Society party hosted by Tek Knight, he is convinced to join a plot to oust President-elect Robert Singer by Homelander and Victoria Neuman (Singer's running mate and a corrupt, closeted Supe). When Homelander outs Neuman as a Supe on live television, Calhoun refuses to reopen the certification of the election results following this revelation, leading to nationwide rioting and protests and an assassination attempt against Singer. After Neuman is assassinated by Billy Butcher, Singer is arrested after Sister Sage frames him for orchestrating it, leading Calhoun being elevated to the presidency under the Twenty-fifth Amendment. He immediately swears allegiance to Homelander, deputizing him and Vought after declaring martial law, and revealing the statis pod that Soldier Boy (Homelander's father) was being detained in. Calhoun effectively serves as a puppet to Homelander, establishing a series of 'freedom camps' for the detainment of Starlight supporters (including anyone who has expressed pro-Starlight or anti-Homelander sentiment online), appointing former Vought CEO Ashley Barrett (whose use of Compound V gave her psychic abilities and a sentiment second face) as Vice President, and pardoning a revived Soldier Boy for treason and espionage (crimes fabricated by Vought to cover up his detainment in Russia). A year into his Presidency, Homelander is empowered by V1, a Compound V variant that gives immortality and immunity to the Supe-killing virus. Descending into god-like mania as a result, Homelander visits the White House and makes a series of bizarre, psychotic demands on Calhoun including repealing all separations of church and state to make the Democratic Church of America (founded to formalise Homelander's 'divinity') the official national religion, abolishing Congress and banning nut milk. When Homelander senses Calhoun's reticence, he has Barrett confirm his disloyalty with her psychic ability, resulting in Homelander killing Calhoun by crushing his head in the Oval Office.

His daughter Kimberly Campbell Cunningham, a right-wing author and unofficial advisor, leads a caucus of surviving Republican lawmakers who, in part, wish to remove the newly sworn in Democrat Brown as president in order to restore the influence they had under the Campbell administration.
