White House Ballroom Ruled Out | Dublin News

A federal appeals court has blocked the Trump administration from building a $400 million, 90,000-square-foot ballroom at the White House, ruling that only Congress can authorize such a major construction project. The decision, which pauses enforcement for two weeks to allow potential Supreme Court review, sides with historic preservation groups who argued the President lacks unilateral authority. Trump contends private funding exempts him from congressional approval, calling judges “Trump Hating,” but legal experts say the law is clear: Congress holds the power. While above-ground work is halted, below-ground security projects continue. This marks the largest structural change to the White House in 70 years — and the legal battle over who controls such decisions is far from over.
