The Senator Was Indiscreet (1947).
A film for Election Day: The Senator Was Indiscreet, in which politician William Powell eyes the presidency, promises health legislation guaranteeing that everyone will have a normal temperature, and causes consternation for his party when his imprudent diary goes missing. The film was directed by George S. Kaufman (The Man Who Came to Dinner), with The Front Page's Charles MacArthur as screenwriter.

It was the only film Kaufman would direct. And don't forget the surprise cameo at the ending where we meet the Senator's wife.
Great--and appropriate!--cameo at the end!
