Plot

Israeli-Palestinian peace talks at Camp David result in a momentous peace accord. President Bartlet accepts the resignation of White House Chief of Staff Leo McGarry, who was strongly against the talks. Moments later, Leo suffers a massive heart attack.

"The Birnam Wood" is believed to be a reference to the warning given to Macbeth in the Shakespeare play of the same name, in which he is warned that "Macbeth shall never vanquish'd be until / Great Birnam wood to high Dunsinane hill / Shall come against him."
