Roosevelt Room Oval Conference Table

Toby and Sam huddle around its broad polished expanse post-House override victory, hands sweeping up scattered papers in hurried retreat as Leo's sharp summons pierces from the doorway—earlier slumps grind elbows into wood, eyes flickering like frayed wires amid strategy frenzy, now the table exhales tension while magnetizing the next urgent pivot in Roosevelt Room shadows.

Purpose

Serves as the primary meeting and negotiation surface in the Roosevelt Room, holding briefing folders, maps, microphones, and materials for staff to arrange, reference, and physically contest during discussion.

Significance

Functions as the physical locus for institutional limits and turning points in the episode: the table stages the legal roadblock that halts reform efforts and hosts the night confrontation where Admiral Fitzwallace forces plain language on the staff, exposing moral cowardice and reframing the issue as a test of presidential will rather than technical tinkering.
