As a State Department dinner nears, President Bartlet (Martin Sheen) boldly vetoes the "death tax" bill but his staff must hustle when they are surprised to learn that the House of Representatives have enough votes to immediately override the veto.
Meanwhile, as some important Democratic congressmen are holding out for some compromising political favors that incense Bartlet and Leo (John Spencer), Josh (Bradley Whitford) tries to smooth-talk a promising governor (Kevin Tighe) who is considering running against Bartlet. Although he doesn't have the money to present a serious challenge, he is extremely vital and energetic, which worries the staff when compared to the President's recent admission regarding his health.
On the fringes, C.J. (Allison Janney) singles out an overmatched entertainment reporter (Mary Mara) for retribution after the reporter makes inapproprite comments about CJ during a broadcast and Charlie (Dulé Hill) is strongly urged by his fellow White House teammates to ask for immunity in his upcoming testimony into the President's non-disclosure of his illness. A suicide bombing takes place in Israel, apparently aimed at two U.S. students.
