Hey, I just saw this email from the White House in my inbox! You can ask them questions! Today: Big Block of Cheese Day The White House has a long history of opening its doors -- digital or otherwise. After President Thomas Jeffersons 1805 swearing-in ceremony at the U.S. Capitol, guests followed him home, forming one of our countrys earliest inaugural parades in the process. The Lincoln White Houses stairways and halls were constantly packed with members of the public. Sometimes, they climbed through windows to get in. And President Andrew Jackson -- as the White Houses digital platforms have now immortalized -- had a 1,400-pound block of cheese in the main foyer of the White House for an open house event with thousands of citizens and staff. Anyone could take a bite. Were here to let you know that level of access hasnt fundamentally changed. It just looks a little bit different now. Welcome to the Second-Annual Big Block of Cheese Day, our virtual White House Open House. Were really excited youre here. All day long, members of the Administration are taking to social media to answer your questions about the Presidents State of the Union Address last night, and whichever issue you care most about. Heres what you can do to participate: Log on to Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Tumblr, and ask away using the hashtag #AskTheWH. Well do our very best to answer as many of your questions as we can.
