Trump asks Supreme Court to allow White House ballroom construction to continue
Americas2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported33m ago
President Donald Trump's administration on Friday asked the U.S. Supreme Court to allow the construction of a $400 million White House ballroom to continue. The emergency appeal follows an appeals court ruling that found the project lacked the necessary approval from Congress.
In its filing, the administration argued that forcing the U.S. president to go "hat-in-hand to Congress" for permission to proceed with the construction would be "dangerous." The legal battle centers on executive authority versus congressional oversight regarding modifications and building projects on the White House grounds.
