Corrected entry: When President Van Buren enters the room at one point, "Hail to the Chief" is being played by the band. Although the song existed as early as 1812, it was not used ceremonially for the President until the 1840s.

Correction: It had been played for Presidents as early as the 1820s and was, in fact, played at the inauguration of Martin van Buren the previous year.
