What is the US capitol?

The Capitol is the building in which the Congress of the United States convenes. The Capitol is the center of government in the United States. Located in Washington it contains The House of Representatives and the The Senate Chamber. The grounds of Capitol Hill are where the Presidential inaugurations are held every four years.


Why does the Statue of Freedom on the Capital building face backwards?

See http://www.kittytours.org/thatman2/search.asp?subject=66 The statue faces east. According to the U.S. Capitol Historical Society, this is because the East Front of the Capitol was intended to be the formal entrance to the Capitol. However, the unofficial study guide for the DC tour guide exam and other sources claim, more romantically, that this position was chosen "so the sun would never set on the face of Freedom." The reason the statue faces the wrong direction is due to the fact that when Pierre (Peter) Charles L'Enfant, the designer of Washington D.C., originally designed D.C. the bulk of the land was to be behind the Capital and not in front of the building.


Why does the president pick the vice president?

The Presidential Candidate's main purpose in picking the Vice President is "balancing the ticket." To "balance the ticket" is to find a VP Candidate that deposits values into a Presidential campaign that will bring support from voters that were not previously inclined to vote for that candidate. In most every United States presidential election within the past 30 years, the presidential candidate chose a VP candidate with almost opposite views and beliefs so that they might hoard the votes.
