    There are plenty of videos and books and photos of the interior.
    There is a pool under the press room.
    There are tours of the White House. Most people can arrange to take the main house tour. I did that when I was twelve. And there are other types of tours. I took a West Wing tour many years ago. It requires arranging through your local US Congress representative. And you enter through the west end and visit the Oval Office, the Roosevelt Room, and many other rooms and corridors which are often seen on TV and films.

    Although there is a lot of furnishings already in the White House, each family chooses there own furniture to enhance and make it their own living space. I personally would never even consider living in a home for 4 full years surrounded by furniture that someone else chose, or sleeping on a bed that anyone else has slept on before! The China Room is special as it houses a museum of sorts showcasing the different china plating patterns created for each sitting President that each First Lady used for all their brunches, tea parties and private dinners. It was really focused and properly developed during the reign of First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy.

    Learned in a different video that the president/first family are sent a monthly bill. Obviously they can't do their own shopping. So if they need toothpaste, snacks, socks, pizza, shampoo, clothes, etc.. They are required to pay for it. The only food and supplies they get for free or that tax payers pay for are state events like hosting foreign dignitaries.

    The First Family gets to decorate their private area. POTUS gets to select art for the Oval Office. Sometimes it's borrowed from museums or gifted to the White House. During a normal transition, the family in residence moves out in time for the new family to move in on Inauguration Day. There are some videos of First Ladies giving tours especially during Christmas.

    Many of the First Family’s personal belongings go into storage besides clothes and sentimental things.
    Some presidents sell their personal residence to avoid paying for it and the costs for the stay in the White House. I believe it was Truman who moved back in with his mother after being president, because he sold his home and was temporarily homeless.
    As for furnishings, the family can draw upon the White House’s collection to furnish their offices, public rooms, and private rooms. There are multiple historical items, including 6 different desks for the President to choose to be in the Oval Office. The most famous of which is the Resolute Desk, made from the salvaged remains of HMS Resolute. To thank the American’s for finding and returning HMS Resolute, Queen Victoria asked of a set of desks to be made. One was gifted to the US president and the other would be used by the British monarch, as a symbol of goodwill between them nations.

There are also several levels below street level and tunnels connecting to other government buildings.

      I know the tours are for free but are really hard to get because they are in high demand. I know foreign citizens are allowed on tours but I've heard conflicting things how they need to apply. The White House website says for foreign citizens to contact their embassy in Washington, D.C. while I've read forums from foreigners that say that many embassy's don't really deal with that (or maybe don't know?). Some foreign citizens have found luck finding a U.S. congressman that is open to tours with foreign citizens but I don't know how reliable going down that path would be.

    There are tours but you must book it three months in advance, have a complete background check, and follow rules to the letter. It’s not easy to get the tour as the secret service really runs a thorough background check. You also must dress in business attire. It’s much easier to get into the Smithsonian or the Washington monument. I actually wanted to do the tour but got denied for some reason. I don’t know why as I have a clean record.

    The mansion, or main building that was the original President's House, is used for the family living spaces and the public rooms for various purposes. The East Wing is generally referred to as the First Lady's wing. The West Wing is where the president runs the country. There is a large outdoor swimming pool and tennis court off of the West Wing. The old indoor swimming pool used by President Franklin Roosevelt for his polio therapy, was covered over and is where the Press Briefing Room is today. I visited the White House when I was a senior in high school many years ago, and it is interesting but not captivating.

    Every president can customize the layout, so taking a video of the layout would be both a security hazard and possibly just inaccurate. Also, the residence is used to house important guests, so security is paramount there. Business offices also take into account alternate escape routes for the president and the first lady from their offices. The residence has had various recreational things. I'm not sure whether the bowling alley still exists. Again, each president makes his own changes. As for the China Room, traditionally the First Lady would design a set of (eating) china for the term(s) the president is in office. I believe the more recent designs are on display when the WH is offering tours.

    The election for the President is once every four years. It is the same year that we have leap year, and the summer Olympics.
    It is always the first Tuesday in November, because of tradition. Early in American history a large portion of the citizens were farmers, and many things occurred to accommodate them. The Presidential election is still one of them steeped in tradition.
    By November all of the crops have been picked and already taken to market. Also for farmers, they probably didn’t live close to town, so they needed time to travel. After going to church on Sunday, they can travel on Monday, and then vote on Tuesday.
    Back then only the men could vote, so they left the women and children behind. They fed the animals on the farm, and milked the cows and collected the eggs from the chickens. The men returned home on Thursday.
    Back then it took time to collect all of the votes and announce the results, and swear in the next President for the next four years. This event is always on the 20th of January, unless the 20th is a Sunday, then it is delayed one day and held on the 21st.
    I didn’t google this information, it just fell out of my head. I’ll take credit for the things that I got right, and blame the California school system for the things that I got wrong, like my grammar and syntax. I hate it when I make a misteak!

    Weird history and fact for you, Washington, D.C.'s name is more to it. Washington in the name refers to the name of the city while D.C. is short for District of Columbia being the federal capital. Because they are said together so often it is rare someone realizes that they are actually technically different. There is a reason there is a comma after Washington in Washington, D.C.. For a long time the capital was referred to just as the District of Columbia.
    Here is where me being from Washington state I'll inject my state history. When my state was being added to the union, they wanted the state to be called 'Columbia' but were afraid it would confuse people mistaking the District of Columbia, the capital, and Columbia, the state. Instead they choose the name 'Washington' to make sure no one would get this confused. I guess that didn't work out.

    There are underground facilities (location unknown to the public) that are used to house the president and his family in the event of an imminent threat. The security of one of these secret facilities was breached when a plane crashed on the mountainous property. Obviously, this facility can no longer be used to ensure the president’s safety due to its discovery and press exposure. Yes, you can tour the White House, but only certain rooms are made available to the public. Most of the house is off limits. Reservations are necessary. Yes, our presidential election is November 5th and is extremely contentious. Currently, there is nationwide fear that we could lose our democracy.

    You know what I find hilarious... The world looks at the U.S. military budget and knows that it out spends the rest of the world. But, that is in the budget, we still have more money for other things in our country. So if the U.S. doubled down on expenditures, then the world would definitely be in fear and would probably see things that were only seen in UFO AND SCIENCE FICTION MOVIES. I beg the world to not make my country do this. We will come to the defense of NATO and our outside allies. The U.S. does have the ability to outspend. The national debt is nothing because the taxes on the people are especially low and on corporations are low. THEYVE BEEN SO LOW COMPARED TO THE 90'S during the Clinton years when the U.S. had its last balances budget and gov surplus. So if the U.S. had to, it could double down and ramp up double or triple the threat it already is on the rest of its enemies.
