president's office

Executive branch headquarters

The president's office is the physical workspace where a president conducts business—in a company, university, or government.

The term often refers not just to the room but to the administrative apparatus surrounding the president: The president's office issued a statement.

In American government, this function is served by the more formal term "Office of the President."
