Ok, so plot...
First of all, I do think this is a show where it's better to go in blind, so I'll give a quick non-spoiler description and then a more detailed one in spoiler tags.
Non-spoiler:
Basically, there is a VERY problem-prone President going through a few problems and a couple of minor scandals with a VERY busy, VERY important day ahead of him. The women who run the White House, White as his COS, Nakamura as his Press Sec, and Dratch as the President's secretary (along with Williams as FLOTUS), are forced to constantly clean up the messes he's making and keep his day on track. Unbeknownst to them, there are several high-profile scandals rocketing towards the White House (in the form of Hough and Delaria) that the four women will soon need to address as well as a very nosy journalist (Cooper) poking around. The problems crash land, everything goes to ****, and, as Joshdog said, hilarity ensues.
BIG SPOILERS:
Hough is his pregnant mistress and Delaria is his convict sister who he's pardoning because he's out of his mind. He has a secret health condition that makes it so he can't sit down for the time being and that's the driver of a lot of the problems. The first act is the three staffers dealing with the original problems and the mistress and sister showing up at the White House, causing more problems. Venessa Williams jumps between problem and problem solver throughout the first act.
At the end of the first act, all of the women come together when two different established groups collide. Cooper ends up hidden in a closet and records a VERY incriminating conversation. When she's revealed they all get into a fight trying to steal her phone to erase what she recorded. She throws a bust and hits POTUS in the head. They think they've killed him and the second act is them trying to cover it up while also not creating TOO much suspicion.
