Interesting selections.
There’s a Neil Young song called Impeach the President. (The prez was W)

I saw Rap Master Ronnie and still have the Playbill! Also, you could have added “Bobby and Jackie and Jack” from Sondheim’s Merrily We Roll Along.
For anyone interested in other songs, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CF-vpU_jilc&t=177s is “80 minutes with stories about Broadway musicals and (real and fictional) Presidents, Vice Presidents, First Ladies, First Children and The White House.” Enjoy!
