From Quiz Lest We Forgo

Answer: Educator

President Josiah "Jed" Bartlet of "The West Wing" was prone to the educator's habit of pontificating. He was a tenured professor with a PhD and a Nobel Prize in Economics, and he spoke four languages. He was married with Abagail (Stockard Channing), with whom he had 3 girls. His closest friend Leo McGarry (John Spencer) pressed Jed into politics and then served by his side. Jed developed multiple sclerosis (MS), which he hid from nearly everyone. When it came to light he was censured by Congress for failing to reveal his condition. Jed was a brilliant, tough and strongly ethical president. We see him one more time as the show ends, three years past his presidency, at the opening of his library.

From Quiz Not So Quiet Nights in the "West Wing"

Answer: National parks

Josh mentioned that he had to be back in his office in four hours but the President, a self-described national parks buff, was getting too much enjoyment from his captive audience to let him go. I suppose late nights and early mornings are easier to tolerate when you live and work in the same building, so that helps explain Bartlet's enthusiasm, and Josh was too respectful to just walk out. Still, post-midnight lectures from my boss? No thanks!

From Quiz Politics Primer, "West Wing"-style

Answer: The Presidential line of succession

The title of the season finale, "Twenty Five", references this amendment, although the link is not apparent until near the end of the episode. Section 3 of the 25th amendment sets out the process by which the President can transfer his/her powers and duties when unable to carry them out personally. Temporary disability or illness is the most commonly expected event that would lead to the amendment being invoked. However, in "The West Wing" President Bartlet chose to step down temporarily to avoid a conflict of interest between his role as Commander in Chief and his position as the father of a hostage victim.
