Summary
| Description |
The President’s Room provides convenience for the chief executive when visiting the U.S. Capitol. In 1859 Constantino Brumidi began decorating the President’s Room with allegorical and historical figures on the ceiling while the walls were painted with portraits of George Washington and members of the first cabinet. Presidents used the room to sign legislation into law at the close of each session of Congress. This practice ended in 1933 with the passage of the 20th amendment, which established different ending dates for presidential and congressional terms of office. Although occasionally used by presidents, the room today is utilized primarily by senators for interviews and press conferences. This official Architect of the Capitol photograph is being made available for educational, scholarly, news or personal purposes (not advertising or any other commercial use).
