A Presidential Palace is the official residence of the president in some countries. However, some countries do not call the official residence of a head of state a presidential palace or the president lives elsewhere and has only his office in the palace. Some of the presidential palaces were once the official residences to monarchs in countries that were monarchies that have now become republics.
Famous quotes containing the words presidential and/or palace:
“The Republican Vice Presidential Candidate ... asks you to place him a heartbeat from the Presidency.”
—Adlai Stevenson (1900–1965)
“In correct theology, the Virgin ought not to be represented in bed, for she could not suffer like ordinary women, but her palace at Chartres is not much troubled by theology, and to her, as empress-mother, the pain of child-birth was a pleasure which she wanted her people to share.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
