Skirmishes between presidents

Washington DC, or the District of Columbia, is an autonomous administrative district located on the banks of the Potomac River, between Maryland and Virginia, which gave its territorial authority to it in 1790.
A political and administrative center where the Capitol, the White House and the Supreme Court are all located, and where some of the most important decisions on the planet are made.
In fact, it is the only American city established by the Constitution as the capital of the states, by choice of George Washington, who, ironically, was the only president who did not reside there: in fact, he took office in 1801, two years after his death.

The first to reside there was actually John Adams, Washington's vice president, and then president after his death. It seems that the two did not get along very well. In fact, Adams challenged Washington's Secretary of State, Thomas Jefferson, in the election: at the time, the law required that the runner-up became vice-president, to encourage a plurality of views in the White House. And so very often, presidents and vice-presidents were not exactly on the same page.

Speaking of the White House, it was there, from Adams onward, that presidents established their residence. Washington was not in time to see it completed. In fact, he died a year earlier, while Jefferson (who became president after Adams) had doubts regarding the design: "You don't need a house big enough for two Emperors, a Pope, and a Dalai Lama."
