Many important US decision-making bills are signed and announced by the president in the White House. George Washington, the founding father of the United States, once expressed his views on the construction of the US President's residence: it must not be a palace, and it must not be luxurious, because the masters working here are servants of the state.

Lincoln Memorial

The Lincoln Memorial is a white ancient Greek temple-style building built to commemorate the 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln. It is regarded as an eternal statue of the United States and a symbol of Washington. It is also the most famous rally for the pursuit of peace and democracy.
