Name films that have a dead POTUS/leader and the death is covered up

I know of Dave (with Kevin Klein as a body double), and Sleeper (clone a new leader from a nose). There must be more.

That was the best.

Actually, the tunnel leading from the WH to the park really exists. Nixon would slip out at night and ask some protesters what they thought about issues. That was in Abbie Hoffman's book "Soon to Be a Major Motion Picture". They probably thought they got some bad acid.

Serious, funny, poignant.

The whole bunch of actors did a great job.

Visual- when KK walks away into "the mist".

And the very last image.
