Official White House photographer Pete Souza captured the moment frame-by-frame as President Barack Obama heard Thursday last week that Senate had made the decision to uphold a critical part of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). 

Souza wrote on the official Medium channel of the White House: “For one split second, the President’s face was blank as if he was trying to comprehend the news. He then reacted in jubilation.”
