Children's Citizenship Ceremony Held At President Lincoln's Cottage

WASHINGTON, DC - MAY 02: New U.S. citizen Yahya Ahmed Aflal, 6, originally from Morocco, gets a little help from his mother with his hand-made paper stovepipe hat, following a childrens citizenship ceremony at President Lincoln's Cottage at the Soldiers' Home May 2, 2016 in Washington, DC. Twenty one children from 19 countries, including Syria, South Korea and El Salvador, became new United States citizens during the ceremony sponsored by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. President Abraham Lincoln and his family resided seasonally on the grounds of the Soldiers' Home to escape the heat and politics of downtown Washington, as did President James Buchanan before him and presidents Rutherford B. Hayes and Chester A. Arthur from 1885 to 1887. (Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)
