It's not actually the president who is referred to as Uncle Sam. "Uncle Sam" is usually a broad term given to some Government entity, which may or may not be referring to the president.
Uncle Sam is a national personification of the United States, with the first usage of the term dating from the War of 1812 and the first illustration dating from 1852. He is often depicted as a serious elderly man with white hair and a goatee, dressed in clothing that recalls the design elements of the flag of the United States—for example, a top hat with red and white stripes and white stars on a blue band, and red and white striped trousers.

Since Uncle Sam was actually a character that was based off of an American - named Samuel Wilson...
I would look at some of the most popular and well known women of American History - and come up with someone that fits the bill:
Lady Liberty
Or
Liberty Belle

US Presidents are never referred to as Uncle Sam. Uncle Sam is the personfication of United States.

Uncle Sam is a reference to the entire U.S. government, not to the U.S. President.

Auntie Sam? Aunt Samantha? And what will Bill be called, First Man?
People are taking this question too seriously - everyone knows US and consequently Uncle Sam refers to the country - lighten up people!

You have it wrong. Uncle Sam's abbreviation is U.S. as in the United States. Uncle Sam is a political character represents the U.S. as if the U.S. was human.

Presidents are not referred to as Uncle Sam. It's a reference to the government as a whole. Please do not vote until you grasp this concept!!
