![]() | On 18 May 2023, it was proposed that this article be moved from Seal of the President of the United States to Seal of the president of the United States. The result of the discussion was moved. |
Some information on the legal status of the seal appearing on-screen in movies and TV shows featuring fictional portrayals of the US president would be welcome. For example, The West Wing appeared to use the authentic seal on screen, while 24 used a fictional presidential seal so different from the real one it seemed like avoidance. SNL has used the seal before fake presidential speech skits. Does permission have to be obtained for fictional portrayals or parody impersonations? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.220.22.21 ( talk) 16:05, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
Could someone provide a reference to the statement about it being illegal to sell items with the seal on it? I'm just curious. Mattlary 18:41, May 20, 2005 (UTC)
Question regarding The Presidential Seal: I have a section of an envelope with the Presidential Seal. I believe it was my late Uncle's but I don't know why he would have received a White House Document. He was in the Army, received a Purple Heart and other prestigious awards. Does anybody know how I could find out what he received from the White House? My Aunt did not keep the entire envelope, only the seal.

The article currently states: "Many people the arrows in its left talon." Certainly; an episode of The West Wing, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs makes reference to the myth of the head turning. either it was intentional on the part of the wirters, or someone never told the writers the story is a myth
The world "seal" reminds me the United States Navy SEALs. Is there any connection between this two words? No, the SEALS you speak of ar an unrelated acronym. CApitol3 12:10, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

This article needs a section on the symbolism of the seal. For example, what are those several orbs above the eagle's head, and what do they stand for? And so on. -- Skb8721 17:59, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
Article states that thirteen stars are above the banner, but actually there are 9 above and 4 below. 209.247.23.40 ( talk) 20:15, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
Can we have "US Presidential Seal" redirect to this article? Seem reasonable enough! 92.9.92.72 ( talk) 13:57, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
When it talks about where the misconceptions came from on the eagle facing the arrows in time of war, and this is where I actually had the belief from, there was a special, pretty sure it was The History Channel, slim chance it was PBS, but I believe it was called The White House: Behind Closed Doors. It had those twins with blonde hair, guys, I think they do something with antiques on another show, but Laura Bush brought them into the Oval Office and pretty much said that they wanted to have the Eagle facing the olive branch instead of the arrows, so that might be another addition to this section.
And for uses of the Presidential Seal, I read something somewhere else that the Hall Of Presidents at Disney World actually had to get an act of congress to approve installation of the seal on this ride/exhibit. Might be worth adding if sourced. Zdawg1029 ( talk) 20:08, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
Since someone felt the need to claim Donald Trump was using his own version of the presidential seal, while also implying that Trump may be breaking the law, perhaps for the sake of balance it should be mentioned that Barack Obama had his own faux-seal back in 2008. And unlike Trump's "seal", Obama's was actually reported on by outlets such CNN and the NY Times. I would like to add that the Daily Caller does not constitute multiple "conservative news organizations".
The fake seal, which features "45 is a puppet" and a bald eagle holding golf clubs, appeared behind Trump Tuesday when he took the stage at the Teen Student Action Summit hosted by the conservative group Turning Point USA. [1] People started to wear Fake Presidential Seal T-Shirts. [2]

I noticed there are 13 stars surrounding the E Pluribus Unum banner in the center. Does the fact nine are above the ribbon and four below represent the original 13 states with the four that seceded: Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia being the lower four?

The result of the move request was: moved except Seal of the President of Ukraine, which was withdrawn. Arguments made in favour of MOS:CAPS and MOS:JOBTITLES were not contested to a convincing degree. ( non-admin closure) Captain Jack Sparrow ( talk) 20:00, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
