As the narrator is finishing, the curtain on the main stage rises, revealing Audio Anamatronics of every United States President. A Presidential roll call is then taken, where each President is introduced. After the roll call George Washington begins to speak:
{{Quotation|"My fellow citizens, no event could have filled me with greater anxiety then that notification on the 14th day of April 1789, that you had selected me to head our nation. But it is with the confidence of my fellow citizens that I took an oath, 35 simple words that have been repeated by every American President throughout history. As long as that oath is taken, and solemnly fulfilled, the American Dream will endure.""}}
