The White House is the primary residence and headquarters of the Presidents of the United States.
History
It was almost bombed by an experimental Nazi air bomber in 1940, but the attempt was thwarted by some superheroes who soon after formed the Justice Society.[1] [2]
When the alien Hyperclan came to Earth, they made a public display of their presence by arriving in Washington and positioning their ship over top of the White House.[3]
Lost Boys
In Lost Boys continuity, President Abraham Lincoln used the White House as a base of operations for a secret initiative to rid Washington of vampires. This initiative existed well into the 20th century and involved the participation of nearly every Chief Executive since Lincoln.[4]
Y: The Last Man
In 2002, after the plague that wiped out nearly every mammal carrying a Y chromosome, congresswoman Jennifer Brown sequestered herself in the Oval Office of the White House and maintained security until the incumbent, Margaret Valentine, could take her position as the world's first female Chief Executive.[5]
