First thing first,
I have some basic foundational problems on some issues of grammar.
Can anyone help me to understand the basics of how "convening a White House conference" could act as an object in this sentence?
My inner sense said that, "-ing" thing either should be (a modifier) or (be verb + ing).
but here I found, it works like an object.
please give me an assist.
