Bartlet clears his schedule to attend the funeral of a former President, whose conservative views often clashed with his own, while he monitors a potential firestorm in Saudi Arabia as freedom protesters threaten civil war and surround a workers' compound that includes dozens of Americans. Elsewhere, Josh mediates a post-Civil War fracas involving a representative from North Carolina who demands that her Connecticut counterpart return her state's copy of the Bill of Rights -- stolen long ago by a Union soldier -- and C.J. is flustered after meeting a Pentagon scientist whose security innovations could threaten privacy. En route to the funeral, Bartlet shares sobering thoughts with two other men who appreciate the weight of the Oval Office -- Acting-President Walken and ex-President Newman.
