It's a ritual as old as the United States of America: heading out to the polls and deciding who will lead the country for the next four years. To date, all the real-life individuals who have filled the office of Commander-in-Chief have been men, and until recently, every vice president has followed suit. When Vice President Kamala Harris was sworn in on January 20, 2021, she became the first woman vice president in American history.
While Harris is unique in the real world, films and television series have featured female presidents and vice presidents for decades. Who's your favorite fictional female president? Vote up the best executives below.
