1600 Penn (=Pennsylvania Avenue) is the address of the White House in Washington, DC, and it’s also the title of a quite funny series (a sitcom) about the life of a family of six people living at the White House. The father, Dale Gilchrist, is the President of the USA, he is married to a second wife, Emily, and has four children from his first marriage.
This series only lasted one season, but it is good, and gives an idea of how things work at the White House (if you forget about the family matters).
Do you know in which movie Bill Pullmann played the role of President before ?
