18th and Potomac

"18th and Potomac" is the 43nd episode of The West Wing.
Plot
A crisis in Haiti takes much of the President and Leo's time, while the senior staff are planning the announcement of the President's MS. The democratically-elected new Haitian President is facing a military coup and the U.S. finds itself in the middle of the storm when a U.S. diplomat smuggles the new President into the safety of the U.S. Embassy in Port-au-Prince. An evacuation operation turns deadly when U.S. soldiers shoot and kill several rebel Haitians who tried to stop a plane from taking off at the airport.
Donna is told by Toby about the President's condition. The staff considers how to deal with the bad news of a poll by Joey Lucas that reveals voters have hugely negative reactions to the possibility of a politician having a potentially fatal disease and then covering it up. They consider what kind of media reveal to have and what the future might hold for all of them. The President agrees with Leo that he should have a discussion with the staff about whether or not to seek reelection.
Josh follows up on his previous week's discovery that a Congressional lawsuit against major tobacco companies is running into funding problems. Two Congressmen, a Republican and a Democrat, receive no such contributions but do not like the case's legal merits. Josh is then furious and plans to publicly embarrass the two Congressmen to get the funds unlocked.
In a brief conversation with Mrs. Landingham, directly before she goes to collect her new car, the President says he'd like to have a word with her on her return. It is later that she was killed in a car crash that occurred at 18th and Potomac - adjacent the main entrance to the Congressional Cemetery.
