Swiss Diplomacy

From West Wing Wiki

The election's barely over but Vice President Hoynes (Tim Matheson) is already maneuvering for the next one, and the Senate minority leader, a likely candidate himself, is crying foul and threatening to thwart the president's legislative agenda.

Meanwhile, the 15-year-old son of an Iranian leader needs a heart-lung transplant, and can get it only in the U.S. But the politics of it are as complicated as the surgery, as the only man available to perform the surgery is an Iranian refugee living in the U.S., and he initially refuses to do so. He is finally conviced by Bartlet (Martin Sheen).

Sam tries to convince an exhausted Will (Joshua Malina) to run his campaign, and Toby (Richard Schiff) tries to repay a Congresswoman who "walked a plank" for the president by proposing a gasoline-tax hike, and paid for it at the polls.
