Pondering Presidential Portraits on Election Day

After casting our votes on this historic election day, the ATM bloggers dashed over to the National Portrait Gallery to ponder the powerful question, what puts the pizzazz in a presidential portrait?

Senior historian Sid Hart met us at the entrance and led us on three-minute tour from George W to George W (who isn’t there yet, but learn in the video above just where the 43rd president will go.)

Check in later this week for results from our own exit poll conducted in the Hall of Presidents.
