AH challange: celebrity presidents

The recent death of Ronald Reagan made me think about a funny thing said in the first "back to the future"-movie. Doc asks Marty for proof that he infact is from the future and says:

"So, tell me, who is the president of the united states i n 1984?"

Marty replies:

"Ronald Reagan."

The Doc gets more or less speach less, and then laughs
"Ronald Reagan? Ronald Reagan!? Who's the vice president, Jerry Lee Lewis?!"

But what if more celebrities got elected into the withe house, and what do you think they'd done? Arnold made governour, so why could'nt the ever so popular Elvis Presley been elected, cutting the hamburger tax with more than 50%? Joe DiMaggio? Jim Morrison? Or one who actually did try; the master of gonz himself; Hunter S. Thompson?
 
Wasn't Warren Beatty thinking about trying out, as a Democrat, for the 2000 Presidential election?

Now that'd be interesting if it was: Beatty vs Bush jnr.

Who'd win &, if it was Beatty, how would he have coped/responsed with 9/11 etc?

In my 'Different 20th Century' TL, I have Eddie Rickenbacker (the WWI flying ace) as President in the early 70s; Glenn Miller from '52-'56; Marion Morrison from '76-'84.
