Oval Office
The Oval Office is the official office of the President of the United States, whether in the West Wing[?] of the White House or aboard Air Force One. George Washington specified the room's oval shape so during meetings, he could look into everyone's eyes. Originally, Washington wanted all the rooms in the White House oval but soon realized such a design was impractical, so just the Oval Office and the rooms directly above and below it are oval-shaped.
