The language had been removed from the display at an earlier date. It is now back as the museum unveiled changes to its exhibition on U.S.

The National Portrait Gallery maintains a collection of presidential portraits that includes text describing key aspects of each administration. Museum officials did not provide additional details on the specific wording or the timing of the original removal.

The update forms part of a broader revision to the presidential exhibition space. The National Portrait Gallery is one of the Smithsonian museums located in Washington, D.C. Its exhibits on U.S. presidents draw visitors interested in the history of the office and its occupants.
