Line 4:
[[The White House]] is the home of the [[Invisible President]], and the headquarters of the [[Government Conspiracy]]. It's heavily guarded by [[The Men in Black|men in black]]. A [[Government Procedural]] may call it home. [[Scary Dogmatic Aliens]] may destroy it with their [[Wave Motion Gun]]; friendly [[Aliens and Monsters]] will land on the lawn and [[Take Me to Your Leader|ask to speak to the being in charge]]. Our Hero may be called to [[The White House]] [[Avengers Assemble|to be recruited for]] a [[Spy Drama|top-secret mission]], or to be decorated for preventing [[The End of the World As We Know It]].
The building itself is nice-looking, and fairly big, but not incredibly so; it's certainly a lot smaller than the literal palaces that most heads of state around the world live in. The grandeur in American government architecture was saved for the Capitol, home of Congress<ref><s>D.C. construction codes prohibit any building from being built that would be taller than the Capitol</s> [
On [[British Telly Tropes|British Telly]], [[Whitehall]] (or sometimes 10 Downing Street) is the [[Establishing Shot]] equivalent of [[The White House]], and the P.M. speaks to the [[Invisible President]] by trunk call.
