President Andre Curtis, often simply referred to as The President, is a recurring fictional character in the American animated television series Rick and Morty. Voiced by Keith David and created by Wes Archer and Tom Kauffman, based on then-sitting Presidents of the United States Barack Obama and Donald Trump in his first two appearances, the President shares a love–hate relationship with Rick Sanchez, often alternating between calling upon him and his grandson Morty Smith to protect America from various threats, to attempting to have him arrested or killed. In "Edge of Tomorty: Rick Die Rickpeat", an alternate reality version of the President's name is stated to be M. Romney (in reference to Mitt Romney) while in all of his later appearances, his name is revealed as Andre Curtis. Known for his abrasive, pompous personality and humorous incompetence, the character has received a positive critical reception.
In December 2022, the President was added as a playable character in the role-playing video game Pocket Mortys.
