The President is taking a trip to Los Angeles! To get his day started right, a bill is introduced into congress to ban gays from serving in the military (we later learn that the West Wing universe presently has a Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy). No one seems to take the bill very seriously. There’s also a Senate vote on an ethanol tax credit, it looks like it’s going to be 50-50, which means the Vice President would have to break the tie.
