The Sharknado universe just keeps getting bigger. With the series' upcoming third installment set in Washington, D.C., the SyFy original movie has elected its top politicians: President Mark Cuban and Vice President Ann Coulter.

The Hollywood Reporter broke the news of the duo's unlikely rise to the top of American politics, though it's unclear if Cuban and Coulter will be playing themselves and not just thinly-veiled caricatures of themselves. Sharknado 3's bevy of D-list guest stars also include Jerry Springer, Bo Derek, and N*SYNC alum Chris Kirkpatrick.
