Get Schwifty
The President first appears in the season two episode Get Schwifty where he's at the Pentagon (the lame on here on Earth) during a meeting with the other generals of the armed forces following the appearance of the Cromulon race. He's discussing the problem with the other generals on how to deal with the Cromulon threat when Rick and Morty arrive in the room via Rick's portal gun. There, the President and his staff were informed by Rick that the Cromulons were hosting an event and that a live singing event was to be held to Earth could win the game and avoid being destroyed by the Cromulons over their potential defeat. While the generals and other staff members were skeptical of Rick's claim, the President believed him and gave Rick and Morty the needed resources to win the competition.

After approving Rick's request, both Rick and Morty were assigned Ice T and a studio to help prepare a song for the competition as well as a sound stage to perform right in front of the Cromulons who were watching over Earth and its people as they prepare for the competition. General Nathan however, was opposed to his actions and recommended nuclear strikes on the Cromulons and eventually knocked out the President and took over the government in a coup. The attacks failed and Nathan was killed by the Cromulons who threatened to destroy Earth.
