Federal Appeals Court Rules Trump Needs Congress Approval for White House Ballroom
A federal appeals court in Washington, D.C. has ruled that President Donald Trump must halt construction on a new 90,000-square-foot ballroom at the White House, stating that such changes require congressional approval. The court's decision, which can be appealed to the Supreme Court, highlights the lack of constitutionally assigned authority for the President over the property. The ruling follows a lawsuit by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, which argued that the construction would cause irreversible harm to the historic site. President Trump plans to appeal the decision, citing national security concerns.
