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.

Corrected entry: Dave gets briefed by Bob Alexander and Alan Reed about the basic aspects of a President's routine. They use all kinds of fancy tools, such as life-size cut-outs of the staff members. How on earth did they manage to get those made and brought into the staff meeting room without anyone noticing, as they (and Duane) were the only ones close to the President who knew about Dave's identity? (00:30:40)
Correction: It's likely they would have the cutouts around for various reasons, like seating arrangements, etc. As for how they would get all of that into the room, they could simply tell the staff the president wanted to practice some speaches and wanted to have visual references.

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.
