Season 6 of American drama series The West Wing aired on NBC television network.
The season began shortly after the events that occurred at the end of season 5. President Bartlet, over the strong objections of Leo McGarry, managed to organize a peace summit at Camp David between the Israelis and the Palestinians. After numerous negotiating sessions, a peace agreement was reached, but only if the U.S. was willing to provide peacekeepers. The stress of his job, along with fighting with his best friend over the conditions of the agreement, caused Leo to have a heart attack. He resigned his post as Chief of Staff and recommended C.J. Cregg as his replacement. After some initial stumbles, C.J. proved to be more than up to the job.
The remaining staff began to deal with the limitations of a lame duck Presidential administration. While preparing for a summit with China, a diplomatic incident forced C.J. to remove Josh from running point on it. This, combined with Josh's low opinions of the potential Democratic Presidential nominees and Donna leaving her position as his assistant caused him to convince Matt Santos, a relatively inexperienced but very politically savvy Congressman, to make a dark horse run for the Democratic nomination. Santos agreed to take the leap, but only if Josh would accompany him. This caused Josh to leave his post as Deputy Chief of Staff to work full time for Santos.
While preparing for and traveling to the China summit, the President began to experience a severe MS episode, which left him almost totally paralyzed. While he managed to successfully complete the summit in a wheelchair, he was left physically impaired for weeks afterward.
Following the President's State of the Union address, Leo, returning to the White House in an advisory capacity, worked to convince the rest of the senior staff that there was still a lot that they could do in their final year in office.
