Presidential Seal Carpet Inlay (Roosevelt Room)
A circular presidential seal worked into the Roosevelt Room carpet: a centrally placed carpet inlay bearing the government's emblem. It reads as a discrete, formal medallion underfoot — visibly anchoring the meeting floor and drawing attention when speakers, notably Bartlet, pivot their posture or redirect staff. Characters orient themselves around its position during the fundraiser confrontation.
