[edit] Plot

The President asks the reluctant Vice President to speak at an anti-gun rally in Texas after a church shooting, but the uneasy allies have a starkly candid showdown. Donna goes before a Congressional committee investigating Bartlet's lack of disclosure—and she lies to her inquisitor. It doesn't help that her date from a few weeks back is one of the investigators, and he knows she is lying. Elsewhere, Leo debates an old friend and Air Force officer about the United States' future stance regarding the War Crimes Tribunal. C.J. informs Toby that a comment of his that puts the President in an unfavorable light has been leaked to a reporter by a member of his staff. Sam tries to find common sense when a Congressman proposes legislation that would eliminate the penny.
