A federal appeals court has ruled that President Donald Trump’s plan to build a large ballroom in the White House violates legal procedures, with the DC Circuit Court deciding 2-1 in favor of a historic preservation group that challenged the project. The court emphasized that decisions regarding major alterations to federal property must be made by Congress, not the executive branch, marking a notable limitation on presidential authority. This decision could lead to further legal challenges, potentially reaching the Supreme Court.
