The Situation Room is a conference room and intelligence management center in the basement of the West Wing of the White House. It is run by the National Security Council staff for the use of the President of the United States and his advisors to monitor and deal with crises at home and abroad.
History[]
X-Men: The Last Stand[]
Despite more conciliatory moves towards mutant-kind, such as establishing the Department of Mutant Affairs, the president also had to deal with the omnipresent threat posed by Magneto and the Brotherhood of Mutants. He was often in the Situation Room conferring with his Secretary of Defense Trask and various military officials as to how to deal with the Brotherhood and other mutant terrorist groups.
Following the capture of Mystique, the president and his advisers were present in the Situation Room to witness her interrogation by the FBI via a live video link.
Later on, during the infiltration of the Brotherhood's base camp in the Forest and its subsequent assault of Alcatraz Island, the president was in the Situation Room monitoring the events.
