A federal appeals court has ruled that President Donald Trump must obtain approval from Congress before moving forward with his proposed White House ballroom, ordering construction to stop.
The U.S. Court of Appeals sided with historic preservation groups that sued to block the project, stating that the decision to construct a massive ballroom is for Congress to decide, not the Executive branch.
The court’s ruling does not necessarily mean that the proposed ballroom will not be constructed, but rather that it cannot be done without securing Congress’s authorization, as required by the Constitution and laws.
