THE WHITE HOUSE La Casa Blanca es lugar de trabajo y residencia oficial del presidente de Estados Unidos y su familia en Washington, DC. Se trata del edificio público más antiguo de la ciudad y el primer presidente en vivir en él fue John Adams a partir del año 1800. Tras haber sido incendiado por las tropas británicas en 1814, fue restaurado y pintado de blanco. Sin embargo, y al contrario de lo que muchos creen, la “Casa Blanca” ya recibía este nombre antes de que se pintara en esta ocasión. Su nombre se hizo oficial cuando Theodore Roosevelt lo hizo grabar en el membrete de sus cartas. Por extensión, el término White House se utiliza para referirse a la presidencia y la administración estadounidenses.
