The legal challenge, filed on Friday by the National Trust for Historic Preservation in the US district court for the District of Columbia, represents the most significant attempt yet to stop Trump’s 90,000-sq-ft addition to the White House complex. The organization is seeking a temporary restraining order to freeze all construction activities until 'proper federal oversight procedures' are completed.
“No president is legally allowed to tear down portions of the White House without any review whatsoever – not President Trump, not President Joe Biden, and not anyone else,” the complaint reads. “And no president is legally allowed to construct a ballroom on public property without giving the public the opportunity to weigh in.”
The organization was chartered by Congress in 1949 to facilitate public participation in preserving sites of national significance.
So is he preserving it the way it was, or improving it? And with no Federal money at all. It's all done with donated funds. These TDS motherfuckers will never, ever stop. I betcha they hound him even after he's out of office. Why can't somebody just slap the fuckin' stupid outta these people once and for all? Juss' sayin'...

Legally, in order to get work done at the White House, the president has to ask the White House architect. Who then reviews the plans and passes it to... the president for approval.
ReplyDeleteGot that? Legally the president approves the construction requested by the president. The only thing the architect does is make sure it fits in architecturally with the rest of the facilities.
Muhahahahahahhaaaahahahaha.
And the president only has to ask Congress for the funds if he wants the American people to pay for the construction, like when Obama made the people pay for a basketball court.
On the east wing being torn down, not one person in the house or senate complained about Obama putting in a basketball court on the White House grounds. Here you have President Trump taking a building down because it is old and does not have bathrooms to use at events, guests have to use DON JOHNs, portable toilets and we all know how pleasant that is.
ReplyDeleteSo these Trump haters have to do the go to court after the building is torn down stating "historic" reasons. Nothing worse than people who have a fit over logic, tax payers are not footing the bill & that people should be reported and the fact that don johns will not be littering the White House grounds.
They are suing now after the building is already been demolished so I say this is just to make MSM happy, but nothing else. Trump will still build the ballroom with private money and the tax payers do not get the costs. MSM will spin it so Trump is the bad guy, but MSM is losing viewers and the ones they have are not Trump lovers.
