Y'know, where the president and first lady lead the first dance in the first of the inaugural balls? Or is that held somewhere else?
(I've never written "first" so many times in one sentence.)

I think it might have been the State Room? Expanded to E room, Which he is demolishing.

The largest room in the White House (the East Room) is only 80x37.

Shameful. State room held 140. They would also set up tents etc for larger events.
Hate him with a white hot passion.
