Hear me out. George Bush was never president in the Disney universe.

In the hit TV show Cory in the House, this fun successor sitcom to That’s So Raven follows the antics of Cory Baxter in the White House working for President Richard Martinez. Years later in the TV show Jessie, First Lady Michelle Obama made a guest star appearance as the 44th First Lady, confirming Barack Obama was elected president in the Disney universe in 2008.

This means that President Richard Martinez was succeeded by President Barack Obama and verifies that Richard Martinez served as 43rd President.

In season one episode four of Cory in the House, an aide of President Martinez remarks about his successful “reelection” campaign. This confirms that Martinez was a two term president who was succeeded by Barack Obama, meaning that George W. Bush was never president in the Disney universe.
