This is the Home Page for (ta-da!) The President of the United States. This is a very useful page with links to the First Lady, the Vice President, and a number of interesting historical sites. For the first part of this assignment, at the top of the White House Home page CLICK ON Briefing Room, then CLICK ON Press Briefings. This page contains transcripts of all public remarks and press conferences (briefings) given by White House staff. CLICK ON any item identified as a press briefing (NOTE: do not use a press gaggle—these are shorter and less useful). Once you have found a briefing whose subject matter interests you, read through it carefully and then proceed to the questions.
