No woman has ever been nominated by a major party or President of the United States. In April 2007, the Clintons liquidated a blind trust, that had been established when Bill Clinton became president in 1993, to avoid the possibility ot ethical conflicts or political embarrassments in the trust as Hillary Clinton undertook her presidential race. Clinton's closest competitors were Senator Barack Obama of Illinois and former Senator John Edwards of North Carolina. Following the final primaries on June 2, 2008, Obama gained enough delegates to become the presumptive nominee.

America, and has been for over 200 years. It is located in Washington, D.C., the capital city of the USA. The White House was designed by the Irish-American architect James Hoban, who had won a architectural design competition in 1792. Hoban's design is said to have been very similar to a plan from James Gibbs' "Book of Architecture". Extra pavillions were added to the White House later; they were designed by the architect Benjamin Latrobe. The first US President to live in the White House was John Adams ( the second President of the USA). Adams and his family moved to the White House in 1800. They had previously lived in Philadelphia , Pennsylvania (which had been the temporary capital of the USA while Washington, D.C., was being built). When the Adams family moved into the White House, the interior of the building was not quite finished. Construction was completed during Thomas Jefferson's' term (1801-1809).

Marilyn Monroe

delivered performances that are considered excellent by contemporary movie critics.[31] Tabloid magazines blamed Gable's death of a heart attack on Monroe, citing her tardiness and quoting Gable's widow Kay Spreckels Gable, who claimed that her husband did his own stunt work out of the frustration of waiting for Monroe.[32] Exacerbating the situation was Gable's advanced age, plus long history of alcohol and tobacco use. Monroe was invited by Kay to the baptismal ceremony for her and Clark's son John Clark Gable. She attended. In 1962, some of the most famous photographs of Monroe were taken by Bert Stern as a feature for Vogue magazine. This photo shoot was her last and it is famously known as "The Last Sitting".[33] Monroe returned to Hollywood to resume filming on the George Cukor comedy Something's Got to Give, a never-finished film that has become legendary for problems on the set and proved a costly debacle for Fox.
