NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- The White House has moved the official portraits of former presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush from the well-trafficked Grand Foyer of the White House to the rarely used Old Family Dining Room, CNN reported Friday night, citing aides. Plus, Clinton's portrait was replaced by a Republican predecessor.
It's a White House tradition that the presidents who served most recently get prominent placement so their portraits are seen at events -- but the new portraits are those of presidents who served more than 100 years ago.
Republican William McKinley, who was assassinated in 1901, took fellow Republican Bush's spot. But Theodore Roosevelt, a Republican and who succeeded McKinley, took Democrat Clinton's spot, according to the report.
The White House has not commented.
