Which fictional character would be the worst presidential candidate, not because they are evil but because they are incompetent?

Nope. Homer would somehow use his amazing luck to be the best president in the end.
My answer: Louis or Oswald from The Drew Carrey Show
OP

I take it back, while Space Ghost would make a ton of very avoidable blunders, Master Shake would inevitably fuck everything up somehow REALLY fast, and probably make Meatwad, a bonafide idiot, a part of his cabinet. His bad luck, paranoia, mood swings, and selfishness are just the worst combination
Didn't Ben Carson claim to be in a knife fight in order to seem less lethargic?
He could save Trillions in spending by being the only military power the country needs.
I'm not so sure about that, as long as Penny and Brain are behind the scenes, Gadget would probably bumble into world peace by ending the plans of all terrorist organisations by complete chance.
Roger from American Dad.
Americans would get fed up with having to paint their children numerous times.

As much as "Wheatley is an incompetent moron" was the running insult in that game, he did have the foresight to at least try and prevent Chell from killing him and help her escape from and get rid of GLADOS in the first place. I mean, there was all that stuff with the facility self destructing and being corrupted by power and whatnot, yeah, but let's not worry about that!
He'd be bad, but I wouldn't say the worst if we're talking strict incompetence. He'd get SOME stuff done on purpose.
The actual worst would be Frylock. Because he kinda seems like he'd be a good pick who'd take the job seriously, but he'd put Master Shake and Meatwad in charge of something that seems irrelevant but that turns out to actually be super important, and then the situation would very quickly go off the rails.
Either Ed or Eddy from the show Ed, Edd, and Eddy. Not Edd, though, he'd actually be pretty good.
Eh, there's a lot worse. His default political stance of "government bad" is dumb, but his relationship with Leslie shows that he is capable of accepting when he's wrong and listening to points of view that he doesn't agree with.
And I certainly wouldn't consider him "incompetent." He's generally shown to be very competent and anything he actually views as worth doing.
Guys like Homer (classic) and Inspector Gadget wouldn't be that bad. Yes, they are inept, but they are also likely to accept feedback and let more competent people to actually run the country. Also, they have good hearts.
A terrible president would need to be also narcissist to overrule the competent people in their administration. So, Constanza or Will E Coyote.
Ed is another good choice. Also, his bad luck would ruin any potential good idea he might have.

My vote would go to Billy Madison. Constanza is a great choice too.
Yea Michael Scott can be a wackjob seven days a week but when he has a gun to his head and needs to save face, he is actually really good at it. There could be worse choices.

Billy Madison knew he had no business running his father's business. So he would definitely know he has no business being President. (He also reached out to apologize to someone he had previously wronged after he had an epiphany that he was wrong.)
My vote would go to Beavis and/or Butt-Head.
Denny Crane, absolutely. Very probable that he'd shoot someone in the first year of his, likely, only term in office. He'd probably have to run as a republican. Imagine how low republicans would have to go to defend him! And it's already physically impossible for them to go any lower, since they're currently residing at the core of the earth.
Name a scandal, and he'd likely be guilty of it in no time.

Tell him that there are powerful people to fight across the globe, he might non-lethally achieve global peace in a week. Then he'll just be off training for the remaining 3.9 years and delegate everything to VP Piccolo.
Perhaps. First show I ever hate watched, used to hate Penny and Brain and just wished they'd go away so that idiot would finally get exposed
Came here to mention them. These two are definitely "whole is less than the sum of the parts" as both Krang and Shredder are individually effective (to varying degrees) but they hate each other so much that they're constantly sabotaging each other.
I was going to suggest Frank Drebin or Mr. Bean, but this is absolutely the correct answer. Fred Colon is so allergic to power that the whole public sector would have resigned by the end of the week.
