The Seal of the President of the United States is based on the Great Seal of the United States. The first President who used a presidential seal was Rutherford B. Hayes; in 1880, Hayes used the seal for White House invitations. Harry Truman had the seal redesigned on October 26, 1945, adding the circle of stars and re-orienting the eagle towards the right (the side with the olive branch).
