Unless he's doing something else to hide his identity or its public knowledge that the POTUS and Superman are one and the same, then I'm saying it's too absurd to the nth degree.
Pre-Crisis, Clark Kent was a news broadcaster and managed it, so I don't think the secret identity thing is necessarily a deal breaker. There are ways around it.

However, unless Earth-23 had a constitutional amendment to the whole 'natural-born citizen' thing, this version is POTUS under false pretenses, as that's a baby being put in the rocket, not a 'birthing matrix'.
