[custom_adv] President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump marked the Easter holiday by hosting the 141st annual Easter Egg Roll on the White House's South Lawn on Monday. [custom_adv] Photos of the 2019 White House Easter Egg Roll show the event continued to be a place where families come to let the good times roll. [custom_adv] This year's Easter Egg Roll comes on the heels of a troubling weekend for both the president and the White House as the Mueller report's release has increased scrutiny on the Trump administration as a whole. Still, despite the drama, the Easter Egg Roll is a long-held tradition for the White House. [custom_adv] In fact, first families have been celebrating the Easter holiday with the White House Easter Egg Roll since 1878 when then-President Rutherford B. Hayes opened the White House's South Lawn to members of the public wanting to roll eggs in celebration of the holiday. [custom_adv] According to the White House Historical Association, the event is "one of the oldest annual events in White House history."For this year's Easter Egg Roll, the White House reportedly collected 74,000 eggs from American farmers, the American Egg Board told The Washington Post. Eggs were used in both a slew of fun activities and as tasty treats to cure guests' hungry tummies. [custom_adv] According to The Washington Post, the first lady also rolled out a few new games for this year's event, all of which were centered around her anti-bullying "Be Best" public awareness campaign. [custom_adv] After addressing the crowd while standing alongside the Easter bunny, President Trump mingled with attending guests, signed autographs, and oversaw children scrambling across the lawn after colored eggs. [custom_adv] In 2018, the Trump administration hosted the 140th annual Easter Egg Roll on April 2, 2018. That day, the Trump family including Ivanka Trump, Donald Trump Jr. Trump, Eric Trump, and Tiffany Trump gathered together to celebrate the holiday alongside thousands of families. [custom_adv] In addition to the Easter Egg Roll, attendees enjoyed other festivities such as cookie decorating, egg hunts, and a reading nook from the first lady. To kick off the celebration, President Donald Trump stood next to the first lady and a very festive human-sized Easter Bunny and delivered a truly one of a kind speech. [custom_adv] Not only did he keep referring to the Easter Bunny as "Gary" or "Barry" (which is I guess OK considering they're apparently old friends), but he also gave a special shoutout to the White House preservation staff for keeping the historic building in pristine condition. Trump's speech was only two minutes long, but it definitely was memorable. [custom_adv] So what are the grounds of impeachment? Radnofsky says they could very plainly be an abuse of the office, a violation of the Constitution or a violation of his oath. [custom_adv] means he's responsible for the appointments he makes, the wrong conduct of his appointees and the mismanagement of the office.
