Trivia:

The last episode of the first season of all three of Aaron Sorkin's TV shows ("The West Wing" (1999), "Sports Night" (1998), and "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip" (2006)) is entitled "What Kind of Day Has It Been?"

Goofs:

Incorrectly regarded as goofs: At the town hall meeting, President Bartlet claims that his great-grandfather's great-grandfather, Josiah Bartlett, signed the Declaration of Independence. His name is spelled differently from the character on the show, but it's common for names to shift slightly in spelling over so many generations.

Quotes:

President Josiah Bartlet: Phil, if it ends up Fitzwallace has to call this kid's parents, I swear to God I'm invading Baghdad.
