Whitehouse.gov works, but it seems like getting this wrong is the rule, rather than the exception with the US government. Below is a comprehensive list of the next five domains I checked (in other words, after my string of five successes with IRS, NPS, FBI, CIA and whitehouse.gov, my next five tests failed):

fda dot gov (Food and drug)
dhs dot gov (Homeland Security)
hhs dot gov (Health and Human Services)
ice dot gov (Immigration and customs enforcement)

And my favorite:

ncis dot navy dot mil

For those who don't know NCIS is the subject of a popular TV show in which the tech skill of NCIS agents is sufficient to hack into any secure system in somewhere around seven seconds. If there's super duper triple 1024-bit encryption, it takes about four hours. Apparently, after hacking into the cell-phone network, they don't have energy left to canonicalize URLs on their server.
