The modern-day Oval Office was created in 1909, when President William Howard Taft expanded the West Wing. In 1934, President Franklin D. Roosevelt had the room moved to its current location in the southwest bead/" class="glossaryLink" data-cmtooltip="578cb1a0f618c79c0949cc78c076b63f" target="_blank" >corner of the West Wing of the white-house/" class="glossaryLink" data-cmtooltip="50a72c59bab8cb8fedf079e6336ec315" target="_blank" >White House. Since then, every President has regarded the Oval Office as both a ceremonial room and a working office. The Oval Office is used as a place for the President to conduct the daily business of the nation, sign legislation, meet with foreign heads of state, and deliver important addresses to the American people.
