Personal
The President and the First Lady's relationship has been icy ever since his State of the Union address made it clear that he was seeking a second term, despite a deal he and Abbey had made before he took office. Abbey is worried that Bartlet's Multiple Sclerosis will become unpredictable, endangering the President's health, and the security of the nation, should he win re-election.

Political
One of Leo's pet office policies is based on President Andrew Jackson's symbolic offering of a big block of cheese to any and all who were hungry. In that spirit, Leo chooses one day a year to bring in representatives from groups that would otherwise have a hard time getting the White House's ear — an event Josh has dubbed "Total Crackpot Day."

While a contemptuous Toby (Richard Schiff) is assigned to meet with a noisy, unruly mob protesting the World Trade Organization, Donna (Janel Moloney) asks Sam (Rob Lowe) to consider fronting an executive pardon for the grandfather of her friend (guest star Jolie Jenkris) who was imprisoned for espionage in the 1940s. Elsewhere: President Bartlet (Martin Sheen) fumes when there are complications in his plan to select the bucolic -- and historic -- site for his Presidential library; as part of Bartlet's tradition of setting aside one day for personal petitions to the White House, C.J. (Allison Janney) must grant an audience to an earnest group of cartographers who want to adopt a new global map that is more respectful of Third World nations; Sam is still smarting over the news of his father's infidelity. John Spencer, Bradley Whitford and Dule Hill also star.
