Answer: unnamed sources

In the season three premiere, Abbey is upset that Jed publicly announced that he was running for re - election without consulting with her. C.J had the unfortunate job of speaking with Abbey about rumors going through the White House Press Corps about the First Couple's rift.

Answer: stupid

In the season two episode "18th and Potomac", Oliver Babish interrogates Abbey over her treating Jed's illness. Oliver tries to bait Abbey and asks her, "Can I ask you, as the President's physician, have you ever asked him if he's ever had extramarital affairs?" Abbey stares at him and simply replies "No". Oliver continues on with his line of questioning by asking, "Isn't that a crucial question in the diagnosing of autoimmune diseases?" Abbey doesn't give him the satisfaction of snapping back and simply says, "I'd like to be next to my husband when he does this." She was, of course, referring to the live broadcast where the President was planning on revealing his M.S.

Answer: California

Furthermore, in "18th and Potomac" Oliver informs Abbey that she broke the medical ethics boards of Missouri, Arizona and New Hampshire. He reads from a large medical volume, "The board may take disciplinary action against any person who is engaged in dishonest or unprofessional conduct or any person who has failed to maintain adequate medical records or documentation on diagnostic and therapeutic treatment." He condemns her for treating a member of her own family and she points out that doctors do it anyway by writing prescriptions for migraines and antibiotics.

Answer: cut his tie

Prior to Jed walking on stage to take part in the Presidential debate against Rob Ritchie, he tells Abbey about the first debate where he set his tie on fire and had to quickly get Josh's. He said it got him going so Abbey tells him, "By the way, I feel bad. I don't think I've done enough to help you prepare for this debate" and then decides to cut his tie off. Everyone becomes frantic trying to get Josh's tie onto the President and just before he walks on the stage, Jed slaps Abbey hard on the rear and walks confidently on stage leaving Abbey grinning.

Answer: True

In season four, Abbey hires Amy Gardener as her Chief of Staff. In "Privateers", Abbey comments concerning Amy being her Chief of Staff, "This is strange for me Amy, I used to baby-sit for you, give me a little time." Amy replies, "I used to get you in some jams."

In the aftermath of Zoey's kidnapping, Abbey makes it clear to Leo that she doesn't trust him, "You laid us open. You laid me and my daughters wide open. And God knows what else there is...I swear to God, Leo, don't...72 hours...her bruises aren't even...Did you see her face? For God's sake, don't ask me to trust you." Additionally, she makes it clear she isn't happy with Jed either for what has happened to Zoey.

Answer: False

It was actually characters from "Sesame Street" including Elmo that Abbey performed a medical check up on as part of a public service announcement to convey that the First Lady is a working doctor. C.J also saw this as an opportunity to inform the press about Abbey's desire to work at a free clinic despite the suspension of her medical license.
