Leo tries to convince President Bartlet of the importance of supporting a missile defense plan, while Ambassadors from Thailand, Sweden and Argentina are accepted in the Oval Office, and Lord John Marbury is appointed British ambassador to the United States. Sam and Toby come to heads over an environmental speech and C.J. has to get a controversial comedian to turn down an invitation to host a dinner the President's will be attending.
