As a White House Fourth of July ceremony nears following a harrowing chapter in the nation's history, Bartlet endures the painful process of nominating a proper candidate for vice president -- but his first choice is his secretary of state who faces a nasty uphill fight for approval. Elsewhere, Amy champions the reclusive First Lady's violence prevention provisions for an upcoming bill while Abby withdraws from her husband after the Qumari assassination is exposed. In addition, a frustrated Josh reacts when he is confronted by Amy and Donna is appalled by the new intern Ryan.

[edit] Quotes
Congressman Russell: I'm sure that my name came up because some see me as the bland candidate. Nobody's nightmare. The triumph of mediocrity. If I were to take the job, I'd mean to confound those expectations, and I'd want you to know that.
