The Seal of the President of the United States is the official arms of the U.S. presidency and is based on the Great Seal of the United States.

The first U.S. president to use a seal distinctly for the presidency was Rutherford B. Hayes who authorized its creation in 1880. Hayes used the seal for White House invitations and on the president's standard (flag) on a field of blue with four gold stars in the corners. Woodrow Wilson was the first president to apply the presidential seal to a state china service instead of using the great seal. Harry S. Truman had the seal redesigned on October 26, 1945, adding the circle of stars and re-orienting the eagle towards its own right, making the seal consistent with long-established heraldic custom. The fact that it was now facing the olive branch, thus symbolizing that the United States favors peace, was given as an explanation for the change.

Symbolism in the Seal of the President of the United States.

• The eagle holds in its beak a banner flying above its head with the Latin phrase "E pluribus unum" which translates to English as "out of many, one." The meaning of this motto is multifold: suggesting that out of many colonies or states emerge a single nation; out of many peoples, races and ancestry of nationalities have emerged a single people and nation.
• Above the banner an arced cornea of thirteen stars representing the original states are arranged; and above the stars thirteen clouds.
• In the eagle's right talon, it clutches an olive branch with thirteen leaves signifying peace.
• In the eagle's left talon it clutches a bundle of thirteen arrows symbolizing military might.
• The 50 stars in the outer circle represents the number of U.S. states.
