الموسم 7، الحلقة 20: As the newly elected President Hayes steps into the Oval Office he finds Gen. Francis Maynard Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff waiting for him. Maynard is there to brief Hayes about the Stargate Program of which Hayes has been unaware until this very moment. Hayes storms into now Vice-President Kinsey's office angry that Kinsey knew about Stargate Command and never told him. Kinsey claims that he was under a special executive gag order - and that he and Hayes now are finally in the position to clean house at Stargate Command by replacing Gen. George Hammond and SG-1. However President Hayes says he's going to need convincing. He learns that Kinsey while head of the Senate Appropriations Committee tried to shut down the Stargate Program. Gen. Maynard explains that Kinsey later almost convinced the other nations of the world during an international full-disclosure meeting at the Pentagon to give him control of Stargate Command. The president meets with Kinsey Gen. Maynard and Kinsey's investigator attorney Richard Woolsey who has been brought him in to argue the case that Hammond and SG-1 need to be replaced. Woolsey cites SG-1's insubordination when they ignored orders to suspend all offworld travel pending a review of the Stargate Program. Two years later the team refused Hammond's own order for SG-1 to stay put. Gen. Maynard counters that in the latter case SG-1 averted an alien invasion by sabotaging a mothership that the Goa'uld eventually would have used against Earth. He also reminds Woolsey that SG-1 was under the influence of an alien device at the time. Which brings Woolsey to the number of times SG-1 has fallen under alien control. He cites Maj. Carter's implantation with a Goa'uld symbiote and becoming host to an alien virus. There was also Dr. Daniel Jackson's death and Ascension into a higher life-form; and the fact that Teal'c - an alien and one-time Goa'uld soldier - now possesses full security clearance at America's most classified facility.
