Is it true there are two different presidential seals - one in the time of war and one in the time of peace?


I recently read "Deception Point" by Dan Brown. In it, he mentioned that in the time of war the eagle in the presidential seal, sewn into the carpet laid in the Oval Office, looks at its left claws. These claws hold the arrows. During peace time, the eagle looks at its right claws, the claws holding the olive branch. There are two rugs, and they are simply switched during times of peace and war. I did a very quick search online but couldn't find any info on this matter. Does anyone have an answer?

Nope!

I realize your looking for an answer,but felt an uncontrolable urge to voice an opinion.

Hopefully this not true,I hate to think that much symbolism goes on in the office of our country's leader.
If it is true, with this president they are going to have to make third rug with arrows in both claws.
