Photographs of White House adviser Kellyanne Conway kneeling on an Oval Office couch with her shoes on have sparked an online debate about decorum in the executive mansion.
Ms Conway is seen perched on her knees on the couch with her feet behind her in photographs taken on Monday while US president Donald Trump meets with leaders of historically black colleges and universities.
Some Twitter users were quick to highlight the photographs as supposed evidence of a lack of respect for the office from Ms Conway and the Trump administration.

Other users have countered with numerous photos of former president Barack Obama resting his feet on the office's famed Resolute desk at various times during his eight years in office.
On Tuesday, Ms Conway had yet to weigh in on the criticism.
