• Is there only one Oval Office?

There has been just one since 1909. But the government is now building a second Oval Office, an exact duplicate of the original, in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building next door to the White House, Real Clear Politics reported. President Obama could start using the facsimile Oval this summer and remain there as long as two years while the original Oval undergoes renovations as part of a $376 million West Wing rehab. Workers still have to put in a temporary, blast-proof VIP entrance in the Eisenhower building before the president can move in.
