But no, Ralph is supposed to be Frankoin Delano Roosevelt (FDR), isn't he?

I think you're right! My bad!

No, no! You were right the first time. Ralph sits in the FDR chair and angrily tells Lisa "I'm here to play George Washington" for the school play. Lisa gives him an "Uhhhh...Ralph..."

Later when he does the scene he is properly costumed as Washington.

Ahh thank you, thank you! I skipped through the episode earlier to try and find the scene but I missed it!

No problem. There is a different scene in a different episode where Krusty is (poorly) playing FDR. It is plausible that scene mixed with this one in the fog of time, making a memory of some Simpsons character actually playing FDR.

Ralph is playing Washington. He sits in the FDR chair backstage as he begins to get ready because he's Ralph.
