- Q7758078 abstract "The President's Room is one of the most ornate rooms in the United States Capitol, richly adorned with fresco paintings by Italian artist Constantino Brumidi. The room was completed in 1859 as part of the Capitol's vast extension, which added new Senate and House wings and the new cast-iron dome.When architects designed the new Senate wing in the early 1850s, senators directed them to include a "President's Room," partly to symbolize the Senate's constitutional responsibility to provide the President of the United States with advice and consent on nominations and treaties. Through the mid-1930s, Presidents customarily visited this ornate chamber at the end of their four-year terms to sign public laws. When the Constitution's 20th Amendment gave the President an additional seventeen days in office beyond the end of the congressional term, the need for last-minute signings--and the traditional use of this room--vanished.Presidents used the room to sign legislation into law at the close of each session of Congress. This practice ended in 1933 with the passage of the 20th Amendment, which established different ending dates for presidential and congressional terms of office. Although occasionally used by presidents, the room today is utilized primarily by senators for interviews and press conferences. In 1991, the room's historic furnishings were restored to the 1870s period by the Senate Commission on Art. The ceiling and walls were also restored to their original glowing colors and subtle details, and the mirrors were regilded. The room is only accessible on a guided tour with a Congressional staff member when the Senate is not in session.".
