In this episode, for the very first scene that involved Toby Ziegler, Communications Director for The White House, he was in his office and Sam Seaborn came in to talk to him. Toby asked Sam what was up and Sam commented that Alabama wanted to abolish all laws except for The Ten Commandments. Toby responded that they would have a problem since the Constitution provided for a separation of church and state.

C.J. told Mandy she would meet with them to discuss what the White House would do to rectify the situation.

Answer: Latin America

One major issue that President Bartlet faced was how to deal with imports from Latin America. Leo McGarry spoke to the President about how he, and others, saw rules that appeared to be discriminatory against imports from countries located in Latin America. President Bartlet assured McGarry he would work to make sure there was no major tension between the United States and Latin America.

Answer: False

It was not until the second season of "The West Wing" that President Bartlet started to discuss running for a second term for U.S. President. Since Bartlet still had another year in office, he did not have to think, at the time of this episode, about what to do for his re-election campaign. Bartlet almost lost his re-election big since it was revealed that he did not disclose his diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis.
