PlotThe fifth season opens with US forces successfully rescuing Zoey Bartlet from her abductors. Bartlet takes the presidency back from Acting President Walken, but is forced back into a level of powerlessness. He comes to terms with his actions that led to his daughter's kidnapping, a new Republican Speaker of the House (Walken has had to resign in order to assume the presidency) who forces Bartlet into several decisions he doesn't want to make, including the nomination of an unimpressive Democrat, "Bingo Bob" Russell, for Vice President. The conflict with the new Speaker comes to a head in "Shutdown", when the Speaker tries to force Bartlet into cutting federal spending more than had been agreed to and Bartlet refuses to sign the budget, forcing the federal government into a shutdown. Bartlet regains some of his power, cutting a deal to get a liberal Chief Justice of the United States, and season five ends with a bombing in Gaza leading Bartlet to push for Israeli peace talks and Josh to be closer to Donna after she is critically wounded. The fifth season begins toward the end of Bartlet's first year of his second term (fifth year overall) in office. By the end of the season, however, over a year has elapsed.

After the president invokes the 25th amendment, Speaker of the House Glen Allen Walken becomes the new president. The code in the episode title refers to Zoey Bartlet's case file number.

The kidnappers issue a 24-hour deadline for the removal of American troops from Qumar, but an intelligence break brings an end to the crisis. Meanwhile, Josh fumes over his perceived notion that the Republicans will exploit and push forward their own legislative agenda. And Toby visits his newborn twins while pondering what will happen. |ProdCode = 176052 |LineColor = 764E4E }}{{Episode list/sublist|The West Wing (season 5) |EpisodeNumber = 91 |EpisodeNumber2 = 3 |Title = Jefferson Lives |DirectedBy = Alex Graves |WrittenBy = {{StoryTeleplay|s=Carol Flint & Debora Cahn|t=Carol Flint}} |OriginalAirDate = {{Start date|2003|10|8}} |ShortSummary = Following a harrowing chapter in the nation's history, the White House celebrates the Fourth of July, but most of the staff is not in a cheerful mood. C.J. is moved by the resignation letter of a senior State Department diplomat who could not stomach the Shareef assassination. Bartlet endures the painful process of nominating a candidate for Vice President. His first choice, Secretary of State Lewis Berryhill, can't be approved and he and his staff are unimpressed with the "compromise candidate" they end up with, reflecting on how recent events have emboldened the Republicans. Meanwhile, while the reclusive first lady tends to personal matters and expresses anger towards her husband and Leo, Amy champions Abbey's violence prevention provisions for an upcoming bill and the President drops in on a citizenship swearing-in ceremony. And Donna is appalled by a cocky new intern, Ryan (Jesse Bradford). |ProdCode = 176053 |LineColor = 764E4E }}{{Episode list/sublist|The West Wing (season 5) |EpisodeNumber = 92 |EpisodeNumber2 = 4 |Title = Han |DirectedBy = Christopher Misiano |WrittenBy = {{StoryTeleplay|s=Peter Noah & Mark Goffman and Paula Yoo|t=Peter Noah}} |OriginalAirDate = {{Start date|2003|10|22}} |ShortSummary = A renowned North Korean pianist is greeted at the White House for a solo performance, but the formalities change when the musician slips a message to the President stating that he wants to defect. Despite C.J.'s passionate argument, others counsel Bartlet that granting the defection would endanger crucial ongoing nuclear negotiations with Pyongyang. Also, members of the staff work hard to get the President's new choice for Vice President, Colorado Congressman Robert Russell (also known as "Bingo Bob") unanimously approved by both houses of Congress and must convince a Democrat who is not a fan of Russell's. Toby and Will express their contempt for the new VP by writing a mock speech highlighting his shortcomings, which is then inadvertently shown on the President's teleprompter instead of their actual speech. |LineColor = 764E4E |ProdCode = 176054 }}{{Episode list/sublist|The West Wing (season 5) |EpisodeNumber = 93 |EpisodeNumber2 = 5 |Title = Constituency of One |DirectedBy = Laura Innes |WrittenBy = {{StoryTeleplay|s=Eli Attie and Michael Oates Palmer|t=Eli Attie}} |OriginalAirDate = {{Start date|2003|10|29}} |ShortSummary = After Josh is hailed as the "101st Senator" on his birthday in a newspaper profile, he clashes with conservative Senator Carrick, a Democrat from Idaho. Carrick withholds his approval of a backlog of military promotions so he can secure an expensive but faulty missile launcher that a former Republican President pledged to build in his state. Will gets a flattering offer from the newly approved Vice President, Robert Russell, while C.J. runs afoul of Leo's temper when she deviates from the administration's scripted line regarding an Environmental Protection Agency report on coal-based energy. Likewise, Amy earns the President's wrath when she aggressively pushes for funding of the first lady's agenda on violence prevention.

Toby continues to be angry that Will left his post to work for the VP. President Bartlet flies to Oklahoma to lend support after tornados devastate an area, but CJ is not impressed with his actions and lets him know he is not doing the job he was elected for. Leo has to deal with plans for a visit by the German Chancellor, a brewing conflict in the Ionian Sea, and the Secretary of Defence's latest over-reaching actions. Josh is in the worst shape when Senator Carrick follows through on his plans to go from being a Republican mole to outright abandoning the Democrats, and Leo takes away his budget responsibilities as Josh goes into a downward spiral. |ProdCode = 176056 |LineColor = 764E4E }}{{Episode list/sublist|The West Wing (season 5) |EpisodeNumber = 95 |EpisodeNumber2 = 7 |Title = Separation of Powers |DirectedBy = Alex Graves |WrittenBy = Paul Redford |OriginalAirDate = {{Start date|2003|11|12}} |ShortSummary = The President's staff wrangles with new Speaker of the House Jeff Haffley over the pending federal budget.

With the budget deadline quickly approaching, aggressive advisor Angela Blake faces a mighty challenge as she tries to work out an agreement that could compromise Bartlet's campaign promises. But the President is also focused on a crucial national television interview that Zoey has agreed to tape with a well-known newswoman, Diane Mathers, who has a knack for exposing raw emotions. |ProdCode = 176057 |LineColor = 764E4E }}{{Episode list/sublist|The West Wing (season 5) |EpisodeNumber = 96 |EpisodeNumber2 = 8 |Title = Shutdown |DirectedBy = Christopher Misiano |WrittenBy = Mark Goffman |OriginalAirDate = {{Start date|2003|11|19}} |ShortSummary = While negotiating the federal budget, congress reneges on a deal for a continuing resolution to keep the federal government running.

Wire Newman and conservative Republican Glen Allen Walken) fly on Air Force One with Bartlet to attend the funeral. Onboard, Bartlet's two historic guests partake in a lively debate about their administrations. Lassiter and Newman's past actions haunt the current administration when massive pro-democracy protests are held across Saudi Arabia and the protesters surround a compound containing 50 Americans, leaving Bartlet to decide whether to support the Saudi regime or to risk the fragile status quo by supporting the protesters' efforts.

Meanwhile, Josh chides NASA personnel on the future of space exploration — until he is introduced to an attractive female administrator. C.J. fumes when a combative television talk-show host, Taylor Reid, denigrates her on the air, and Will discloses to Vice President Russell that Russell is considered a buffoon by the White House staff.

Glenn Close plays a federal judge whom Josh is pushing for the Supreme Court, but who is seen as too liberal to be confirmed. Instead of settling on a compromise candidate moderate enough for the both sides of the aisle, Josh and Toby decide to nominate her as the first female Chief Justice of the U.S. by convincing the ailing liberal Justice Ashland to retire, while also nominating a very conservative but brilliant young judge (William Fichtner) to fill the other open seat.
