Well, Helloooo Mr. President!

Yes, you read that headline correctly. And you know exactly what PILF stands for. If you don't, let us explain. The "P" stands for President, as in the POTUS. The "I" is...pretty self-explanatory. The "L" stands for like to. And the "F?" Well, our parents told us never to use that word or they'd wash our mouths out with soap.

In honor of President's Day, here's all the hottest TV Presidents that have us pledging our allegiance...ranked from not as hot to the absolute hottest!

ABC

Tony Goldwyn as President Fitzgerald Grant III on Scandal

By looks and status alone, you can't deny it—Fitz is smokin'. He knows how to wear that suit, tie and American flag pin with the right amount of swagger to make all the voters swoon. But in the later seasons, his actions have spoken way louder than his looks, and we can't defend our crush on him anymore. He's kept both his wife and Olivia on the hook, throws a ton of temper tantrums, is never without a glass of scotch in his hand…and let's be honest, he never actually won an election fair and square. Plus, he forced the whole country to go to war over his mistress!

Mary McDonnell as President Laura Roslin on Battlestar Galactica

Yes, there was an all-out war going on against the Cylons, but we were more interested in our girl crush on President Roslin. Damn, could that woman lead.

Martin Sheen as President Josiah “Jed” Bartlet on The West Wing

This Democratic prez knew how to get things done—and look good doing it—from when the series began one year into his presidency and throughout seven seasons, ending with his successor (played by Jimmy Smits) getting elected and taking office.

NBC

Blair Underwood as President Elias Martinez on The Event

Though we still don't know what exactly was going on in this sci-fi series, what we are sure of is that Underwood made one hot prez.

HBO

Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Vice President turned President Selina Meyer on Veep

Never have we related to a VP or POTUS more than Selina. From her swearing to her real talk, we want her to run our country in real life…as well as kick back and drink a beer with her. She's got our vote!

ABC

Geena Davis as President Mackenzie Allen on Commander in Chief

Davis rocked as yet another female VP who rose to the position of P, after her running mate suddenly died. Why can't we get a woman POTUS who gets elected as such?! At least we got one season of seeing what it would be like having a Republican female President. And damn did she make the Oval Office look good.

8/9
Netflix

Kevin Spacey as President Frank Underwood on House of Cards

He's absolutely terrifying, a total criminal and knows how to cut someone down with just one perfectly judgemental line. But we can't help but crush hardcore on President Underwood. It must be his ambition, and not his murderous tendencies, that we're so into...right?

FOX

Dennis Haysbert as President David Palmer on 24

Haysbert played with our hearts as the hunky baritone David Palmer for five seasons of Fox's action thriller. He always knew how to remain calm even in the face of tragic terrorist acts. Plus, that voice...like velvet. Unfortunately, chivalry got the best of President Palmer as he was forced to bow out of the race for his second term after being caught lying to police to protect his wife. And don't even get us started on how he was later assassinated by a sniper. We're still crying. He's the ultimate TV President, and he deserved to serve his full two terms!
