Obama's day: Ebola response and new ambassadors

As his staff prepares new executive orders on immigration, President Obama spends Tuesday working on Ebola containment and welcoming new foreign ambassadors to Washington.

In the morning, Obama meets with his national security and public health teams on efforts to defeat the Ebola virus, both in the United States and West Africa.

Obama aides also figure to be working on executive orders that would grant legal status to migrants currently in the United States illegally. Congressional Republicans are objecting to the prospective orders, calling them an abuse of executive authority.

This afternoon, the president hosts an ambassador welcoming ceremony in the Oval Office.

"The presentation of credentials is a traditional ceremony that marks the formal beginning of an Ambassador's service in Washington," says the White House schedule.
