1600 Pennsylvania Avenue

Leader's official residence

1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is the street address of the White House in Washington, D.C., and by extension a metonym for the U.S. presidency or executive branch: 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue had no comment on the scandal.

The address functions like "the White House" or "the Oval Office" in political discourse.
