- The president's full name in the movie is William Harrison Mitchell; [?] William Henry Harrison was a real president elected in 1840 and the first president to die in office. The vice president in the movie is named Nance; [?] John Nance Garner was [?] Franklin D. Roosevelt's vice president for two terms, and once derided the job as not being "worth a pitcher of warm piss" (bowdlerized at the time and often misquoted as "spit").
- Kevin Kline got the part after Warren Beatty and Kevin Costner both turned it down.
