Other mistake: When Luther is driving the Senator to the White House it is raining. But there is a shot of Luther from the outside front window and the window is perfectly dry even though side and rear windows show that it's still raining.

Continuity mistake: When Seth Frank goes to visit Luther Whitney's daughter at work, the chairs are already pulled out from the desk, but when he walks up close and says "Thanks", he pulls the chair out to sit down. (01:05:30)
Seth Frank: There's one thing I forgot to tell you. I live alone.
Trivia: Clint Eastwood's daughter Kimber has a cameo as a White House tour guide.
Question: Why did Whitney hide the key to his house that poorly (in the flowerpot on the porch)?
Answer: Many people do this-hide a house key in an outside place that they think is secure when in fact, most burglars would know to look there.

As he is an expert burglar himself, this would be quite stupid of him. So it's likely he did it as a joke, as he would have all his really valuable stuff in a safe place, probably elsewhere, so getting robbed would not mean much to him. And maybe also so that his daughter could get in if she ever found out the address.
