White House rehangs Clinton, Bush portraits moved under Trump

White House officials have apparently rehung portraits of former Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton in a prominent location after former President Trump’s staff broke tradition by moving them away from areas typically used by guests.

CNN reported Monday that a White House official said the two portraits were returned to the Grand Foyer of the Executive Mansion; previously, Trump White House officials had placed them in the Old Family Dining Room, a smaller, less-visited area.

The change reportedly occurred within hours of President Biden taking office.

“The portraits were returned to their traditional locations in the Cross Hall on Inauguration Day by the Office of the Curator,” a spokesperson told the Daily Mail.

Traditional protocol dictates that portraits of more recent presidents — as well as those with prominent places in U.S. history — be placed in areas where guests frequent.

Bush and Clinton are the two most recent presidents to see their portraits hung in the White House; former President Obama’s White House portrait has yet to be unveiled.
