The belief is perpetuated by a 2000 episode of "The West Wing" entitled "What Kind of Day Has It Been?". Character Admiral Fitzwallace, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, notes that the presidential seal in the center of the Oval Office carpet contains a shield bearing a bald eagle clutching the olive branch in its right talons and arrows in its left. The eagle's head is turned toward the olive branch. Fitzwallace alleges that in times of war the Seal is replaced with one in which the eagle's head is turned toward the arrows.
