After he briefly removed it from the Resolute Desk, President Joe Biden has brought back a call button President Donald Trump used to order Diet Cokes while sitting in the Oval Office.
Photos from Monday show the call box sitting next to Biden's phones, the same place Trump put the box when he sat at the desk.
The call box was not seen in pictures of Biden on his first day in office last week.
Trump used the wooden call box throughout his entire presidency and first showed it off in 2017 interviews withThe Associated Pressand theFinancial Times, during which he told reporters: "Everyone does get a little nervous when I press that button."
The call box has been around for decades, and other recent presidents have also been pictured in the White House with it, including Barack Obama and George W. Bush.
It can be used to call White House staff, Secret Service agents, and other officials, but Trump appeared to have told his staff that if he pressed the button, he wanted a Diet Coke.

It's unclear if Biden has a specific use for the button or if it will be used more generally.
Like presidents before him, Biden also changed a number of decorations upon entering the Oval Office.
Biden replaced a portrait ofPresident Andrew Jackson with a portrait of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and opted to feature a number of progressive politicians and activists throughout the room, including Robert F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, Eleanor Roosevelt, and the labor leader and civil-rights activist Cesar Chavez.
He also chose to display portraits of Benjamin Franklin, President Thomas Jefferson, and Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton.
