This week Clare and Margaret told us about elections laws around the globe, Barbara and Robert enlightened us on the electoral college, and Ruth gave us background on the upcoming national elections for Israel. To complete our election week theme, we have a photo to share today from just across the street.

Here’s a trivia question for you: Who was the first president to take the oath of office on the EAST side of the Capitol?
