The White House is a place that a person would "want" to go and see not "have" to see because of some obligation. Not everybody is interested in the White House (or history for that matter) so, imo, this isn't a thing. People who are trying to make it a thing (just like those who try to make it a thing when Arrieta and Lester, didn't go with the Cubs) are people that are looking to stir up trouble. The visit should be for those who want to go.
