Was there ever an instance wherethis poem about Superman was president and it was Robin who saved the dayinspired by a specific comic?

I was wondering if there was ever a story where Superman was president and Robin was the one that was actively saving the day or at least heavily involved/shown. By president, I mean in the governmental sense, not president of a company; so a country (USA or otherwise), a continent, a planet (Earth, Krypton or others), or even bigger, like galaxy (you never know in comics).

For context, I'm wondering this because I want to know if eight-year-old boy-genius Gerald Bostock was inspired or inspired by an actual comic with his poem. As a reference, his poem was immortalized as musicThick as a Brick (written on the 3rd of March 1972).

Here is the relevant passage:

Won't you join your local government?
We'll have Superman for president
Let Robin save the day

I was wondering this because of the weird association between Superman and Robin, since they are not one of the usual team-ups. 

Although I assume it's because he wanted a superhero for office and a sidekick to pick up the slack and that Robin is one of the most well-known sidekicks and that Batman would make a terrible choice for president.
