* In the second film, Ben tells the President that his grandfather aquired the map drawn by George Washington from a descendant of a woman named Charlotte, who was one of Washington's slaves.

* In ''Book of Secrets'', Sadusky deploys a team of FBI agents to the Library of Congress as soon as he receives word of Ben supposedly kidnapping the president, coyly remarking that "maybe he wants to check out a book"--meaning that he knows the location of the titular journal. Since the book is supposed to be "by presidents, for presidents," this seems odd, until you realize that several presidents have been assassinated during their time in the White House, and others have died abruptly. Naturally there needs to be ''some'' failsafe for those occasions; it's likely protocol that the president entrusts at least one other person with the knowledge of the journal's hiding place in the unlikely event that they aren't able to pass the information off to the president-elect after their term is up. Sadusky, given his status as a Freemason, is a natural choice for the job.

* In NT2, when Ben takes the president through the secret tunnel at Mount Vernon, the levers to get inside are covered in undisturbed dirt and dust. This means that Ben didn't test it out before he took the president down there. He had no way to know that that tunnel was still safe for them to walk through, hadn't collapsed, wasn't full of rabid raccoons or something, etc. Kidnapping the president was one thing; potentially accidentally getting the president (and himself) killed in said kidnapping is another thing entirely. Thomas Gates's fallen reputation would have wound up being the least of the Gates family's problems.
