Original LiveJournal post, with comments

It was important that nothing change after Rosslyn. I was still the President. And it was still crucial to me that I be able to go out and meet my people without being separated from them. Ron had argued, of course; that was his job. And there were certain things that he could overrule me on, but not this. We Bartlets have a wicked stubborn streak when we want to. Only Mrs. Landingham said nothing, just stood there and smiled.

But every time I went out, my eyes sought out every window, and I felt that momentary pang of fear.
