White House Ballroom Ruled Illegal | Canada News

The administration is now seeking Supreme Court intervention, claiming the project is vital for national security and calling the injunction “unlawful.” The legal battle began when preservationists sued, arguing the President lacks unilateral authority — a view echoed by the majority of the appeals panel, which emphasized congressional oversight.
