	I see no mention whatsoever of “1927” in its screenplay. If so, where does the detail about it being in 1927 come from actually. If it is not the movie where that year comes from, were the comics really trying to be coherent with it (and if so, again, taking it from where) or were they the ones introducing it? --[[User:Elmimmo\|Elmimmo]] ([[User talk:Elmimmo\|talk]]) 06:49, 28 August 2023 (EDT)		I see no mention whatsoever of “1927” in its screenplay.

			:Tom Banachek says that Sector Seven was "convened under President Hoover 80 years ago." Taken ''literally'' that would place it in 1927 (2007 minus 80), but the very act of taking a line like that as mathematically precise is a grade-A example of wiki-pedantry. - [[User:Chris McFeely\|Chris McFeely]] ([[User talk:Chris McFeely\|talk]]) 15:52, 28 August 2023 (EDT)

			The page says:

			<blockquote>The 2007 film refers to President Hoover forming Sector Seven in 1927, forgetting that President Coolidge was in charge at the time. IDW's Sector 7 miniseries jumped through hoops to have Hoover in a position to form S7 before he became the Prez.</blockquote>

	::Yeah - as I understand it, the only important thing in constitutional terms about the two-year mark is that, if the president dies in office ''before'' it, the VP/replacement can only be elected once (i.e., his time as a replacement counts as their first term), but if there's ''less'' than two years to go, then they can have two full terms on top of it. - [[User:SanityOrMadness\|SanityOrMadness]] 16:51, 24 September 2009 (EDT)		::Yeah - as I understand it, the only important thing in constitutional terms about the two-year mark is that, if the president dies in office ''before'' it, the VP/replacement can only be elected once (i.e., his time as a replacement counts as their first term), but if there's ''less'' than two years to go, then they can have two full terms on top of it. - [[User:SanityOrMadness\|SanityOrMadness]] 16:51, 24 September 2009 (EDT)

			:::Many years later but prior to the 25th amendment in 1967 a lot of issues relating to Presidential vacancies were not actually resolved by the constitution and it was really only because John Tyler was forceful and had enough political backing in April 1841 that the precedent was set that the Veep ''became'' President for the rest of the fixed four year term rather than merely acting in the post until a new election had been held. The latter view was current at the time and in different circumstances might have prevailed. Alternatively fiction can have elections in different years from reality just as much as different presidents - wasn't the cycle in the West Wing two years out of sync with reality?
