The Presidency is reserved for rich white males who are members of the power elite and who have sold their soul to the devil or in many cases, big oil or big business, not that there's much of a difference.  Yes, it was originally designed so that anyone could run and every election there are countless numbers of candidates running for President.  Unfortunately, its only the Repubs, Dems, and maybe one or two others who get recognized as serious contenders.  Its become a game for the rich - not the common, ordinary person.  If you plan on running, you need to make sure you're rich - that will be the first step.  Then, take it from there.

The White House was built after Congress established the District of Columbia as the permanent capital of the United States on July 16, 1790.\n\nThe architect was chosen in a competition, which received nine proposals. James Hoban, an Irishman, was awarded the honor and construction began with the laying of the cornerstone on October 13, 1792. The building Hoban designed was modeled on the first and second floors of Leinster House, a ducal palace in Dublin, Ireland, which is now the seat of the Irish Parliament. Contrary to widely published myth, the North portico was not modelled on a similar portico on another Dublin building, the Viceregal Lodge (now Áras an Uachtaráin, residence of the President of Ireland). Its portico in fact postdates the White House portico's design. The capital was placed on land ceded by two states—Virginia and Maryland—which both ceded the land to the federal government in response to a compromise with President Washington. The D.C. commissioners were charged by Congress with building the new city under the direction of the President.\n\n \n19th Century view of the White House as seen from the southwest, with the old West Wing visible.Construction of the White House was completed on November 1, 1800. Over an extremely slow 8 years of construction, $232,371.83 was spent. This would be approximately equivalent to $2.4 million today (recalculated for recent inflation).\n\nThe front and rear porticoes were not part of the structure until about 1825.\n\nThe building was originally referred to as the Presidential Palace or Presidential Mansion. Dolley Madison called it the "President's Castle." However, by 1811 the first evidence of the public calling it the "White House" emerged, because of its white-painted stone exterior. The name Executive Mansion was often used in official context until President Theodore Roosevelt established the formal name by having "The White House" engraved on his stationery in 1901.\n\nJohn Adams became the first president to take residence in the building on November 1, 1800. In 1814 during the War of 1812, much of Washington, D.C., was burned down by British troops and the White House was gutted, leaving only the exterior walls standing. Popular legend holds that during the rebuilding of the structure white paint was applied to mask the burn damage it had suffered, giving the building its namesake hue. This is, however, unfounded as the building had been painted white since its construction in 1798. Of the numerous spoils taken from the White House when it was ransacked by British troops, only two have been recovered — a painting of George Washington, rescued by then-first lady Dolley Madison, and a jewelry box returned to President Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1939 by a Canadian who said his grandfather had taken it from Washington. Most of the booty was lost when a convoy of British ships led by HMS Fantome sank en route to Halifax off Prospect during a storm on the night of 24 November 1814.

Enraged Whig Party members rioted outside the White House in what was (and still is, as of 2006) the most violent demonstration on White House grounds in U.S. history.\n\nLike the English and Irish country houses it resembled, the White House was remarkably open to the public until the early part of the twentieth century. President Thomas Jefferson held an open house for his second inaugural in 1805, when many of the people at his swearing-in ceremony at the Capitol followed him home, where he greeted them in the Blue Room.\n\n \nNorth Portico of the White House.Those open houses sometimes became rowdy: in 1829, President Andrew Jackson had to leave for

The Oval Office is the official office of the US President. It is located in the West Wing of the White House. The oval-shaped office features three large south-facing windows behind the president's desk and a fireplace at the north end of the room.\n\nThe Oval Office has four doors: the east door opens to the Rose Garden; the west door leads to the president's private kitchen and study; the northwest door opens onto the main corridor of the West Wing; and the northeast door opens to the president's personal secretary's office. It was first built in the Taft administration and took its current form under Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

That is right. John Adams was the first to live in the White House. George Washington did help to lay the corner stone.\n\nDuring the renovation in the 1950's Eisenhower did not live there for a while, but he did spend part of his term in the White House.

White's stick together, and have more sympathy for one another. They don't want to hear about slavery because they don't want to be reminded about how dumb their ancestors were. I'd be embarrassed too if I was white,lol

to date, it is highly unlikely that either one will ever occupy the white house.[no pun intended]. for mainly two reasons. 1. there exists no viable candidates. within the last 20 years, runner ups from both categories have failed to remain on the presidential ticket long enough to reach the oval office. 2. no voter support. the american people have verbally expressed their desire for 'ethnic cleansing' of the white house, but, fail to support the issue with their votes.

It's most likely because 'old money' has been who has kept people in the White House. The last election was a perfect example of it: two white men from old money and who belonged to the same secret society, that's not a picture of diversity, is it?
