Movie Trivia/Goofs

Movie Goof (factual errors): Senator Hanson is seen jogging in what is undoubtedly meant to be Arlington National Cemetery. Jogging is not permitted in Arlington National Cemetery, and presumably a U.S. Senator would know better than to be seen disrespecting American veterans in such a way.
Movie Goof (errors in geography): When the Senator is going with her husband to meet the President for the first time, the Lincoln Memorial is clearly seen is the back window of the limo, indicating that they are leaving DC on the Memorial bridge, heading in the wrong direction.
Movie Goof (crew or equipment visible): When Runyon and Webster are speaking for the first time, they pass a room in which a chandelier that appears to have a black flag (a piece of grip equipment used to block glare from lights) attached to it.
Movie Goof (continuity error): When the President addresses a joint session of Congress, he turned to his right to address "Mr. Speaker." The House Speaker sits on his left side.
