Answer: C.J. Cregg

There were rumors going around Washington, D.C. that President Bartlet and Vice President Hoynes were arguing and not finding consensus on certain issues. C.J., as Press Secretary, decided to give a press conference where she stated that there was no fighting amongst the President and the Vice President. However, the rumors still persisted.

Answer: False

One issue on which the President and the Vice President could not find consensus was on what comes first: the people or the legislation they wished to pass through Congress. The Vice President was the one who stated that the priority of the Bartlet Administration was to pass the legislation.

This was when President Bartlet piped in and said it was the people who came first, not the legislation.

Answer: Leo McGarry

During the meeting, Leo was starting to get suspicious, about Vice President Hoynes, and felt he was deliberately trying to get a rise out of President Bartlet's emotions. Leo told C.J. that he felt it was Vice President Hoynes who leaked the rumor that President Bartlet and Vice President were on bad terms, at that moment. Throughout Bartlet's presidency, he and Vice President Hoynes fought since Hoynes lost what was considered a bitter battle, to President Bartlet, during the primary season.

Answer: C.J. Cregg

Once C.J. heard Leo's suspicions about Vice President Hoynes (for more, see "Interesting Info" section for question five), she confronted Vice President Hoynes about the accusation. Hoynes got angry that this was suspected, of him, and he denied, to C.J., that he leaked the rumors. C.J. found out a woman, who was involved in the press conference she gave, leaked the rumors.

Answer: Banking reform

In several scenes, in this episode, President Bartlet's staff tried to find a solid way for President Bartlet to sign a bill, on banking reform, without stripping land in certain parts of the nation. There was a provision that would allow this that was introduced by two Republican lawmakers. It was revealed that both Republican lawmakers were ones that members of The White House hated.

Answer: Antiquities Act

The staff eventually found a way to compromise on the bill that would strip land, in Montana, as a result of reforming the bank system. They decided to introduce a bill, known as the Antiquities Act, which would use the federal land in Montana and turn it into a national park.

This solution won over approval, from Congress, and they passed the bill and President Bartlet signed it into law.

Answer: Josh Lyman

Most of President Bartlet's staff expressed glee once the bill that would establish a national park, in Montana, got passed but President Bartlet and Josh were not happy. They disliked the fact that there was a lot of tension, over the bill, and the political environment showed the lawmakers at their worst, including President Bartlet and Josh, who agreed they also behaved badly in the process.
