سیاست · Trump Ballroom Ruled Illegal · آرشیوAppeals Court: Trump's $400M White House Ballroom Unlawfulمکتوب ۱۶ شهریور ۱۴۰۵ ساعت ۲۱:۲۲ (UTC)تماشامتن پیادهشده0:00The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals has0:01ruled two to one that President Donald0:03Trump is unlawfully constructing a0:05massive new ballroom at the White House0:07and cannot proceed without congressional0:08approval. The project at the center of0:10the ruling is estimated to cost [music]0:12around $400 million,0:14according to CNN and Trump statements.0:17CNN reports construction [music] has0:18been underway since last year, including0:20the complete dismantling of the East0:22Wing, and that the nation's top historic0:24preservation group sued over the project0:26last year. The court found the White0:27House could not use privately collected0:29funds to tear down and rebuild0:31substantial portions of the executive0:33mansion that Congress authorized to be0:34built and that American taxpayers0:36[music] paid for until now. The majority0:39wrote that whether a massive ballroom0:40should be built is for Congress [music]0:42to decide and not a matter for executive0:44self-help. In a second passage, the0:45judges wrote they are aware of no0:47instance in American history in which a0:48president [music] unilaterally and using0:50privately collected funds demolish0:52substantial portions of the White House0:53that Congress authorized [music] to be0:55built and American taxpayers paid for0:56until now. The ruling upheld a decision0:59from a Bush appointee, CNN [music]1:01reports. Its practical effect is paused.1:03The court stayed its decision for 21:05weeks to allow President [music] Trump1:06to appeal to the Supreme Court, and CNN1:09reports construction can continue during1:11that 2 weeks stay. [music] If the stay1:12expires without intervention from the1:14Supreme Court, the requirement for1:16congressional approval would take effect1:17and [music] the project's current legal1:19basis would collapse, leaving Congress,1:21not the executive, to decide whether a1:23massive ballroom belongs on the White1:24House.مقاله را بخوانیدخط زمانی داستانHeyDexویدیوی کوتاه ↗
