[edit] Return to Congress
Walken had to leave the House in order to assume the Presidency. He could have run again in the midterms during the sixth season, but by no means would have automatically become Speaker again. Therefore, it is unclear whether he ran for Congress again. As he stated, "I was gonna have to run again next year anyway." - Scm83x 07:24, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Gingrich
I wrote that Walken was based on Gingrich as I always thought Walken was modeled after Newt Gingrich - a tubby, conservative Republican Speaker of the House with colorful language, a southern accent - Goodman himself is a New Orleanian - and is an opponent to a Democratic president. --Blue387 05:54, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Hastert?
Walken is loosely based on Hastert? How so? Walken is dynamic and an ideologue; Hastert is a docile bureaucrat on his best day. They are really not comparable figures.
[edit] Very Fictional
It should be noted in this article, that in 'reality' Walken couldn't have become acting president (only a vice president can). Futher more, if Walkin could have become acting president, the presidential oath of office wouldn't been administered (the acting president doesn't take the oath). see the 25the Amendment to the US Constitution.
