Nervous rookie Donald Dolan clutches the dim Executive Clerk's office alone at midnight, second week on the job, as Kovaleski thrusts the blue Death Tax override bill into his trembling hands. Protocol steels his anxiety—he verifies identities, absorbs urgent instructions to alert Josh Lyman, seizes the phone, ignites the White House frenzy. His shaky call slices through Josh's bow-tie banter with Donna, confirming the bill's arrival and catapulting deputies into veto-or-sign chaos. Dolan stands at the precipice where clerical vigilance sparks presidential tempests.
