In a 2-1 vote, the D. C. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a preliminary injunction blocking construction of the White House ballroom. It’s all about who gets to decide White House renovations:This holding has nothing at all to do with whether the proposed ballroom is desirable, or not, as a matter of policy. 2 of the Constitution:Congress has exclusive authority to regulate the construction and demolition of White House structures. The Constitution’s Property Clause vests Congress with plenary control over all real property that belongs to the United States. The assassination attempt on Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner (WHCD) made him push harder for the ballroom, citing the venue’s security limitations.
