[edit] Plot

Leo defiantly rejects the Congressional Oversight Committee's offer of a public censure of Bartlet that would finally bring an end to the investigation into Bartlet's concealment of his illness and spare Leo any possible personal repercussions. Meanwhile, Bartlet's staff reacts to an exposé published by a terminated White House photographer. Josh awkwardly schemes to socialize with a women's rights leader, Amy Gardner, whom he finds attractive. Also, Bartlet wants to frame a controversial 1709 map of Palestine that Charlie gave him, but C.J., Toby, and Leo warn the president of the political implications, since the historical map excludes Israel.

[edit] Episode Title

The title is the US House of Representatives reference number for the concurrent censure resolution.

[edit] Trivia

  • On the DVD release of this episode, chapter 3 is titled Chasing Amy, a reference to the 1997 comedy by Kevin Smith.
