The American President

The widowed President of the USA invites a woman he likes (Sydney) to a state banquet. They fall in love, but the press turns it into scandal and the opposition leader uses it as an excuse to run down the presidents character. He will not defend his private life to the world and his popularity at the polls plummets. He then loses the love of Sydney when he is forced to get the environment bill that she is campaigning for thrown out (and her fired as a by-product) to defend his own crime bill.

Continuity mistake: When the President comes home, right before Sydney tells him that he lost her vote, he is walking up the stairs and unbuttoning his jacket. However, in the next shot, he goes to kiss his daughter, and his jacket is buttoned again.
