Trivia Help Needed
Fidelio

I need some help.

I remember hearing there was a nickname for the blue lectern the President speaks from.

Can anyone help me by reminding me what it is?

I googled "president's blue lectern" and got this:

Presidential Lecterns

When the president speaks in the Press Briefing Room (and even when he travels to other places), he uses special lecterns. A larger, bullet-resistant lectern is called "blue goose," and a sleaker lectern of similar design is called "blue falcon."
