Sen. Obama, who has taught courses in constitutional law at the University of Chicago, has regularly referred to himself as a constitutional law professor, most famously at a March 30, 2007, fundraiser when he said, I was a constitutional law professor, which means unlike the current president I actually respect the Constitution..
Hip roof. A hip roof, hip-roof or hipped roof, is a type of roof where all sides slope downwards to the walls, usually with a fairly gentle slope. Thus it is a house with no gables or other vertical sides to the roof. A square hip roof is shaped like a pyramid.
A mansard or mansard roof (also called a French roof or curb roof) is a four-sided gambrel-style hip roof characterized by two slopes on each of its sides with the lower slope, punctured by dormer windows, at a steeper angle than the upper.
