How about Hilary Clinton…? 
Fits your gender, and you can just claim to be “ahead of the curve”. 
:smack:
Wear a giant heart pendant, and go as “Corazon” Aquino.
Could you be a fictional president? David Palmer might be fun, but hard to pull off gracefully unless you have a certain pre-existing foundation.
This Wiki page has a fun list, including my favorite fictional president: Richard Nixon’s Head from Futurama.
Oooh-
What about
Go as Edith Bolling Wilson. She learned how to forge her husband’s signature and ran the country after his brain exploded.
Yeah! You’re a woman, so go as a woman. Edith Wilson is an awesome idea. Also Hilllary or even Condoleezza or, heck, Oprah.
Well, since you’re female, I wouldn’t recommend dressing as a president with facial hair.
How about JFK? If there are a lot of baby boomers at the party, you’ll automatically be the most popular party guest in the room, even if you do nothing particularly memorable. Of course, it might be a little difficult rigging up the full-body halo and getting the walking-on-water trick right…
Ford would be easy–mask if you can find one, and trip over stuff.
Carter–big smile/deep wrinkles–that guy really aged during his term.
If you own a Gorilla Suit, you might even be able to bluff your way into the White House.
Right now.
My son, who is in second grade, just brought home a time magazine, jr which had an article about tall Presidents. LBJ looked so warm and cute and friendly in the little cartoon that you should totally go as him. What a mensch he looked like! Meanwhile, IRL not so much.
He’s the third tallest, btw, after Lincoln and Jefferson. Then there are five who are tied for 4th, including my boyfr, um, President Clinton.
You’re female? Go as Hillary.
I say go as Lincoln… after he was shot.
I believe the shortest president was James Madison, at 5 feet.
Wasn’t that just an Urban Legend? About the bathtub?
Go as Jhon Quincy Adams.
Yes, it’s misspelled on purpose. It’s only the law.
Carry a Confederate flag and whistle “Dixie”… go as Jefferson Davis
Get a wheelchair and a cigarette holder and go as FDR
A couple I knew went as CLinton and Monica. He int he blue dress, wig and a little dried elmer’s Glue on the dress.
She with powdered hair (for the grey) dress shirt, tie, cigar and boxers.
A different approach to Teddy Roosevelt. Speak softly (whisper) and carry a big stick.
