Hank Hill
I don't think he'd want the job, but he would do it were he asked and give it 110%. He's no nonsense, a facts-based decision maker, and he listens to people's issues and makes fair decisions if it's what you want to hear or not. He's also not too full of himself to admit when he's been wrong. He seeks out experts on matters outside of his experience and respects their opinions. He loves his country and looks to do right by those that entrust him with a job.
He would also probably be unfortunately remembered as a terrible president a la Jimmy Carter, as he'd likely trust a number of people he shouldn't to keep their word, he'd be too compromising for a lot of people, and I don't think people would like his "lack of personality" they'd get from his public persona. I think Hank would be a top-notch cabinet member though! I would totally support him for any of a number of different ones.
mufasa wasnt born in the US, he cant be president. i say the creepy toon villain from who framed roger rabbit. he's electable.
In fairness, he'd vote for me.
My villain choice: Lex Luthor
My hero choice: The Martian Manhunter
Jesus of Nazareth
Senator Chris Zaxar Travers.
Wait, who are we voting for?
Who did I say I was gonna vote for?
Why did Trump run uncontested?
There are many, many cartoon characters I would vote for over Trump, all the way down to other villainous incompetents like Dick Dastardly or Elmer Fudd.
Scrooge McDuck (Duck Tales version). Dude knows how to manage people and balance a budget. Sure he might occasionally get obsessed with some treasure in the middle east but that's no different than most presidents.
Griffith, he is just so charismatic and determined. And those CURLS
Your average Griffith enjoyer
Do comic books count? If yes I'd say Spider Jerusalem from Transmetropolitan. If no, General Hunter Gathers from Venture Bros or Dale Gribble from King of the Hill. Maybe Uncle Duke from Doonesbury.

Satsuki Kiryuin, fuck it she might get our shit together.
Just for the comedy that might ensue from how horrible of a president he'd be, my vote is Principal Dr. Cinnamon J. Scudworth with Buttlertron as his VP.
Either that, or if possible, as a slightly more serious answer, why not have someone like an actual scientist like Professor Professor from The Secret Show with Name Changed Daily as the VP ( or vice versa )? They already run a not-so-secret spy organization, so why not?
Yakko from the Animaniacs, though he may be a bit too smart for the job.
