Plot

In China, an impaired President Bartlet is having trouble sitting through meetings following his MS attack, but pushes through on his plans to meet individually with the Chinese Premier about North Korea--a step that produces an extraordinary agreement for a regional conference on the North's nuclear programs but also leaves the President sicker than ever. In Washington, a NASA functionary warns that an asteroid could strike Earth, while Josh wonders who should be the next guy to occupy the Oval Office and puts off a talk with Donna about her future. He puts off the discussion for so long that Donna quits her job and leaves for parts unknown. Josh tells Will Bailey he doesn't want VP Russell to be President, talks with Leo about finding the guy who can continue to lead the country after President Bartlet's term ends, and then flies to Houston to visit with the guy he thinks can fill that role: Congressman Matt Santos.
