Sounds like the washer on the tap is worn out. It should not be too hard to replace it.

Your local hardware store will be able to hlep you with the specifics if you want to do it yourself, otherwise you can just call a plumber.

How long ago was the first bathtub installed in the White House?

Around 180 ago seems reasonable. A bathtub of some sort was put in around 1830 when running water was added, mostly for fire protection. My understanding is that they had a boiler in which water was heated, but no hot running water, so the tub would have to be filled via buckets . It was around 20 years later that hot running water was put in.

What President installed the first bathroom in the White House?

First Bathtub in White HouseBest evidence seems to point to Andrew Jackson as installing the first bathtub with running water between 1829 and 1833. Jackson and his designer spoke with pride that, in their bathroom, you could have a warm, cold, or shower bath. However, running water was only available on the first floor. If someone in the upstairs living quarters wanted a bath, a portable tub was brought in and water carried up to fill it. In 1853 President Franklin Pierce had running water and a hot water heater installed upstairs. He surely had a bathtub but it may have been portable without a built-drain.(There is a legend that Millard Fillmore installed the first tub. .This legend is actually false. The columnist H. L. Mencken made up the story about Millard Fillmore, and later confessed that it is was made up, and that he had no idea who installed the first bathtub with running water.)

How can you get the shine back on an old porcelain bathtub?

You can get the shine back on an old porcelain bathtub by washing it with an all-purpose bathtub cleaner and then rinsing it clean with water. Next, pour several cups of vinegar into a bathtub of hot water and allow it to sit for a few hours. Rinse the tub with cold water then take a dry, soft cloth to buff the bathtub.
