In the season finale of season 2 of 24, what happened to the president? What was put on his hand and what was?

it?

Palmer then goes out to make a statement to the press, deeming that the threat is over. He shakes hands with many of the onlookers, one of whom happens to be Mandy, a woman hired in Day 1 to assassinate Palmer. She is revealed to be wearing a special glove that she carefully removes with tweezers because it has a virus on it. As she leaves the scene Palmer feels weak and he collapses to the ground, panting. (The alternate ending presented in the 24 Season 2 boxset has him get up and say he's all right.)

Mandy was hired by that guy Max from the last 2 eps of that season. In the 24 Video game which takes place between season 2 and 3:

Six months after Day 2, Palmer is recovering from his assassination attempt. Although he makes televised appearances to make it appear as if he is strong, healthy, and running the nation, in actuality, vice president Jim Prescott is acting President. The reality is that Palmer is confined to a wheelchair and is heavily medicated. However, terrorists attempt to assassinate Prescott, leaving the Vice-President in critical condition. Palmer decides at this point that he is strong enough to take over the responsibilities of being President of United States once again.

A few months later (In the comic, 24: Midnight Sun), after the events of Day 2 and 24: The Game, President Palmer allows the opening to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge near Fairbanks, Alaska. His reasoning behind this controversial decision was so that the nation would no longer be manipulated by the men behind the oil companies (a reference to Max and Peter Kingsley).
