- Dave was divorced in this movie: who would divorce such a good guy and why did the marriage fall apart? Theories: he is a magic-trick-spewing charlatan who forces his friend to hire people to sustain his business, flighty and impressionable about stumbling into the arrangement, and based on his Oklahoma rendition he may sing too much at home; is Dave a great hang or a tough hang after three years?
- Would Dave, running for office later, ever come clean that he was actually the president for five months? Should he? No, he would be arrested, maybe not for treason but impersonating a government official is a crime and this is literally a coup d'etat, so even though Dave did a great job, don't go around admitting it.
- The shower scene: based on the First Lady's reaction, was Dave more or less healthy than President Mitchell? A host has been preparing this since the episode was announced; the reaction is coy and unclear, the common male reaction to the movie is that she should have recognized the difference, but after not seeing each other naked in a long time that is hard; the lean is that she was genuinely impressed, with shower conditions an X factor.
