The Seal of the President of the United States serves as a symbol of the executive authority and institutional continuity of the American presidency. Officially adopted in its current form by President Harry S. Truman in 1945, the seal features an American bald eagle clutching an olive branch and arrows, signifying the nation's commitment to peace and readiness for defense. The eagle's head faces the olive branch, reflecting a preference for diplomacy. Encircled by fifty stars representing the states, the seal visually reinforces the presidentās role as both a national leader and a representative of the federal union. While its design draws from the Great Seal of the United States, the presidential seal has evolved in both form and function, appearing on official documents, lecterns, and the presidential flag, thereby reinforcing the ceremonial and symbolic stature of the office.
