I'm curious.
I've looked at several pics of the desk "at work", but the plaque isn't showing in any of them so if it can be facing out, the Presidents must be choosing to have it face them.

I know that Presidents Kennedy, Carter, Reagan, Clinton and GW Bush have used the desk. I wonder if the next president will use it as well?
