The Resolute desk is a large nineteenth century partners' desk that is frequently selected by U.S. presidents for use in the White House Oval Office. It was a present from Queen Victoria to President Rutherford B. Hayes in 1880, and built from the timbers of the British barque-rigged ship HMS Resolute. Every president since Hayes, except Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard Nixon, and Gerald Ford, has used the desk. President George H.W. Bush had the desk moved to the Treaty Room in the Executive Residence, but President Bill ClintonResolute to the Oval Office. napsal/a: Jamal89 11:07 Link
