Seasons
Season 1
Senator Selina Meyer has just become the Vice President of the United States...and discovered that the job is nothing like she expected--but everything she was warned about. Season one follows the whirlwind day-to-day existence of Vice President Meyer as she puts out political fires, juggles public and private demands and defends the interests of the chief executive--with whom she shares a uniquely dysfunctional relationship.
Season 2
In season two, Selina tries to parlay slightly above average popularity polls into increased influence with the president and his new senior strategist Kent Davison. But just as in the first season, even the most banal decision made by Selina and her staff can have the most unexpected and far-reaching consequences.
Season 3
After the revelation at the end of Season 2 that the president will not run for re-election, Season 3 begins with Selina, eyeing a promotion, courting Iowa Caucus voters at a signing of her new book. Soon, however, she learns that the Secretary of Defense, war veteran Danny Chung, is resigning - setting the stage for a possible clash with her nemesis in the presidential primaries.
Season 4
In season four, POTUS is stepping down and newly sworn-in President Selina Meyer scrambles to hang on to her new office while avoiding becoming America's shortest-serving president. While Selina has ascended to the highest office in the land, she must still run for election, prompting her and her staff to grapple with making her seem “presidential” while also deciding who will make the best running mate.
Season 5
In season five, Amy and Dan are on the ground in Nevada working on a recount, and Selina finds herself spinning her wheels in DC, as her staff continues their mission to make her seem presidential (even though she is the President) while fending off the ambitions of her charismatic Vice Presidential running mate Tom James, who in a twist of obscure constitutional procedure could end up becoming President.
Season 6
In season six, former Vice President and onetime President Selina Meyer looks to secure her legacy now that she's out of office.
Season 7
Selina Meyer, the former vice president and president, is looking to get back to the Oval Office. Can she shake off years of flubs and scandals?

Selina decides to make the Clean Jobs Commission a pet project, but a series of missteps requires her staff to work damage control.
Frozen Yoghurt
After getting good news on a clean-jobs bill, the staff brainstorm for a photo-op idea, but the trip to a local frozen-yoghurt shop is delayed by a stop in the White House Situation Room and a gastrointestinal illness that's going around.
Catherine
Selina celebrates 20 years in Washington, D.C., but tries to keep a low profile after a newspaper article paints her as a diva and rumors float about her feud with the first lady. Meanwhile, Selina’s college-age daughter arrives for a visit, and is surprised that her mother is looking for a dog but appalled by her reaction to “Selina” being on the list of names for hurricanes.
Chung
Dan and Amy try to figure out if an Asian-American war hero-cum-governor could be a political threat to Selina. Meanwhile, Selina and Mike prep for her "Meet the Press" interview; and Gary and Amy make a startling discovery about Selina's romantic life.
Nicknames
Bloggers' nicknames for Selina become her next obsession; Dan goes on a fact-finding mission after his boss is snubbed by the president; it's make-or-break time for the clean-jobs bill.
Baseball
Selina attends a healthy eating event at Camden Yards with some very grumpy fast-food executives, where she also confides a secret to Amy.

Full Disclosure
The vice president's office takes some heat over a pregnancy rumor and the firing of a Secret Service agent, so Selina establishes some new ground rules about internal correspondence. Meanwhile, Dan tries to cover his boss' tracks on the clean-jobs bill; and a staffer's job may be in jeopardy.
Tears
In the Season 1 finale, an Ohio gubernatorial candidate balks at Selina's endorsement due to her current unpopularity, but Mike and Amy try to make the best of the vice president's emotions during their meeting. Meanwhile, Dan can't shake the clean-jobs bill debacle, especially when it could be the subject of a Congressional hearing.
