Editing Sam Seaborn (section)

=== White House ===
After the election, Sam becomes Deputy White House Communications Director in the Bartlet Administration, often collaborating with [[White House Communications Director]] [[Toby Ziegler]] to write the President's most important public addresses, most notably [[State of the Union|States of the Union]] and his first inaugural address.

In an episode in the third season, Sam is awed by President Bartlet's foresight and wisdom when resolving an apparent impasse among the Chinese, the Taiwanese and the United States. President Bartlet predicts that Sam will run for President someday and should not be scared; Bartlet believes that he can do it.
