English Summary:

Dave Kovic runs a temporary employment agency in Georgetown, Washington, D.C., and has a side job impersonating President Bill Mitchell. He is requested by Secret Service agent Duane Stevensen to make an appearance as the president at a hotel. Dave assumes it is a matter of security, but it is really to cover up Mitchell's extramarital affair with a White House staffer.

Mitchell suffers a severe stroke during the rendezvous, leaving him in a coma. White House Chief of Staff Bob Alexander and Communications Director Alan Reed convince Dave to continue impersonating the president, telling him that Vice President Gary Nance is mentally unbalanced. Only Bob, Alan, the Secret Service, and the medical staff know of the switch. First Lady Ellen Mitchell leads a separate life, rarely seeing the president, in contrast to their public image of a closely-knit couple.

The public is notified that Mitchell has had a "minor circulatory problem of the head". With Dave established as president, Bob and Alan send Nance on a 12-nation goodwill tour of Africa and implicate him in savings and loan fraud. Once Nance is forced to resign, Bob plans for Dave to nominate him as vice president, whereupon Mitchell will have a more serious stroke and Bob will ascend to the Presidency.

Hungarian Summary:

Dave a munkaközvetítő irodán dolgozik. Kíséretiesen hasonlít az amerikai elnökre. Egy napon két ügynök azzal keresi föl, hogy helyettesítenie kell az elnököt, mivel az elnöknek a közszereplésnél fontosabb dolga akadt. Dave szivesen beugrik helyette. Csakhogy az elnök szívrohamot kap a szeretőjénél, és emiatt Dave megbizatása hosszabbnak ígérkezik. Be kell költöznie a Fehér Házba, és színleg át kell vennie az ország irányítását.
