President of the United States
From Futurepedia, the Back to the Future Wiki
Over the course of history, the President of the United States has changed.
When Doc went to January 1, 1885, Chester A. Arthur was president. By September 1885 when Marty arrived, the president was Grover Cleveland.
In 1955, the president was Dwight D. Eisenhower, and in 1985 it was Ronald Reagan. When Marty McFly told Doc Brown who the president was in 1985 (Reagan being an actor at the time in 1955), he scoffed at the idea and sarcastically asked whether Jane Wyman was the First Lady and Jack Benny was Secretary of the Treasury. When Marty noted that Riverside Drive was later John F. Kennedy Drive, Sam Baines retorted "Who the hell is John F. Kennedy?".
In the altered 1985-A timeline Richard Nixon had been elected to his fifth term. In 2015, there was a female president that was tired of reporters asking her the same questions.
