White House Ballroom Ruled by Congress | Washington DC News

A major legal blow to President Trump’s White House ballroom project: an appeals court ruled he must get congressional approval before construction can proceed, reinforcing Congress’s role in overseeing significant federal projects. Historic preservation groups sued, arguing the executive branch overstepped constitutional bounds — and the court agreed, though it paused its decision for two weeks, leaving the door open for a potential Supreme Court showdown. This ruling underscores the enduring power of checks and balances — even presidential ambitions must bow to legislative authority.
