| ~ Dwayne Camacho to Joe Bauers |
President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho is the main antagonist turned supporting character of the 2006 American sci-fi comedy film Idiocracy. He is the President of the United States, and a former pro wrestler and porn star. He delivers over-the-top, vulgar speeches when he addresses the nation, and gets people's attention by firing a machine gun into the air.
When Joe Bauers' IQ test catches his attention, he makes Joe (known as "Not Sure") the Secretary of the Interior, expecting him to solve all of the problems facing America. To make matters worse, he expects Joe to "do it all in one week." Joe manages to solve one problem: the crops aren't growing because they are watered with a sports drink called Brawndo instead of water. Joe switched the irrigation system to water and caused a massive recession, which he was blamed for, and was sentenced to one night of "rehabilitation", a demolition derby-style execution. Later, Camacho pardons him after he manages to prove that his plan to use water worked, and makes Joe his Vice President.
He was played by Terry Crews.
