After a church shooting, Bartlet asks reluctant Vice President John Hoynes (recurring guest star TIM MATHESON) to speak at an antigun rally in Texas, but the uneasy allies confront each other in a starkly frank showdown. Donna testifies before a congressional committee investigating Bartlet's nondisclosure of his medical condition--and she lies to her inquisitor, Cliff Calley (MARK FEUERSTEIN - "What Women Want"). Meanwhile, Leo debates with General Alan Adamley (GERALD McRANEY - "Major Dad"), a longtime friend and Air Force officer, about the United States' stance on the War Crimes Tribunal. C.J. informs Toby that a reporter, Will Sawyer (MICHAEL O'KEEFE - "Life's Work"), heard a compromising comment about the President that Toby made. Sam tries to make sense of Congressman Terry Beckwith's (BOB GLOUBERMAN) proposal of legislation that would eliminate the penny.
