Earlier today, First Lady Michelle Obama welcomed the Broadway cast of Hamilton to the White House to host a student workshop, Q&A, and a performance.
And as if that weren't enough excitement for Capitol Hill, the musical's creator and star Lin-Manuel Miranda also took part in a freestyling challenge outside the White House, with help from President Barack Obama.
In the video, Miranda hits on everything from the POTUS himself, to The Federalist Papers, presidential pups Sunny and Bo, NASA, the Supreme Court, and the famous Oval Office, prompted by Obama on cue cards. Click to watch Miranda's amazing rap unfold!
