MISTAKES/GOOFS

CHAR: During his tirade about the sermon in the opening sequence, Bartlet refers to the "timbre" of the priest's voice. The word is actually pronounced "tamber", something which he would definitely have known.
FACT: During the war crimes discussion between Leo McGarry and General Adamle, the aircraft piloted by Leo during the Vietnam War is incorrectly referred to as an F-105 "Fighter Chief". The correct and official nickname of the F-105 is "Thunderchief".

TRIVIA

One of the subplots concerns Sam's obsession over the "Legal Tender Modernization Act", which aims at eliminating the penny. The act does exist and was actually introduced in May 2001 by Arizona Congressman Jim Kolbe. The act also aims at withdrawing the Susan B. Anthony dollar from circulation, and prohibiting any redesign of the $1 bill.
