De president van de Verenigde Staten wordt verliefd op die mooie Sydney Ellen Wade. Sydney is een lobbyiste voor een milieuorganisatie en heeft de taak om de nieuwe milieuwet zo onbeschadigd mogelijk door het congres heen te krijgen. Ze beginnen een relatie, waardoor zijn presidentschap gevaar loopt.
Nee, helaas is The American President nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
