Federal Appeals Court Says Trump Can’t Build Ballroom Without Congressional Approval

“Whether or not a massive ballroom should be constructed is for Congress to decide and is not a matter for Executive self-help,” the court said, adding that its decision has little to do with policy and politics. “This holding has nothing at all to do with whether the proposed ballroom is desirable, or not, as a matter of policy. This ruling does not even necessarily mean that the Defendants may not ultimately construct the ballroom.”
