Corrected entry: After the all night session with his accountant friend, the next scene shows Dave having a meeting with the cabinet to cut the $650 million. Then he is out in front of the White House in the early morning light saying goodbye to his friend. Those scenes got switched in editing unless the cabinet meeting was held pre-dawn. (00:58:50)

Corrected entry: When Dave and the First Lady address the press from the White House balcony, Alan and Bob keep prompting him what to say. As the First Lady was standing right next to him she should have overheard this and get suspicious which, as she told him later during their escape, happened only when they were going to the homeless children's shelter together and he stared at her bare knee. (00:34:25 - 01:06:25)
Correction: During the balcony address, the First Lady is furious with the President. She is probably also quite used to Bob Alexander and Alan Reed feeding the President lines in awkward situations. While this probably seemed a little absurd to her, she was probably too incensed to care more than rolling her eyes and walking out. At that point, she had absolutely no reason to believe the President was an impostor, so the idea probably didn't even occur to her at that point, until she witnessed all of his subsequent uncharacteristic behavior, and began to put things together.
