I don't know if it's been said, but when Charlie walks in to the Oval, and President Bartlet initiates the conversation, Charlie puts his hands in his pockets. Exactly the way Jed does, when he's made his mind up.

Short answer is yes. Yes Charlie would have the President's blessing to marry his daughter. So far, he's got a guy who cheated on his daughter and a nice but excessively nerdy guy as his sons-in-law. Then there's Charlie, a guy who the president already loves as the son he never had. Let's be honest, having Charlie as his son-in-law is President Bartlett's version of living the dream.

Not every relationship needs to live happily ever after. Granted my unwarranted speculation is that this storyline was dropped for political network reasons and not because the writers didn't know where to go with it. The writing staff probably knew exactly where they wanted to go and somebody somewhere along the network chain of command at the time dropped the ball or ran off with it or just sat on it like an egg. Not everyone watching the show was open minded and woke. Then as well as now, some people would still take offense to an interracial relationship. I like how it's just left hanging. I had relationships like that. I rather imagine it happens to everyone now and then. Complications intervene. People's lives drift apart. Others intentionally or unintentionally C-block the lovebirds. Bottom line: Charlie's intentions were made clear in the latter scene: he wanted to see Zoe more, but marriage was an afterthought, and that didn't set well in the Bartlett household. Well. For everyone but Zoe, who would have said no to marriage had Charlie asked. "Did my father put you up to this?" "Well. Uh. No. Your mother-" "Charlie!"

The best part about this is that the president wasn't having to confront charlie, he was having to confront his own presuppositions, and his own willingness to be a little bit too much like his own father. The seen caused him so much discomfort not because he saw his daughter fooling around with his employee, but because it forced him to hold a mirror to himself, and I think because of that, it for the solidified the relationship between him and charlie, and his willingness to treat Charlie as a son, regardless of how things went with his daughter.
