ICYMI: Celebrate the Court for Halting Trump’s Ballroom

Hi friend,

A federal appeals court ordered the Trump administration to halt aboveground construction of its proposed $400 million, 90,000-square-foot ballroom, ruling that the president cannot move forward with the project without authorization from Congress.

The ruling reinforces a fundamental principle of our democracy: presidential power has limits. No president should be able to undertake a massive transformation of one of America’s most important public buildings while bypassing Congress and the constitutional process.

Add your name to celebrate the appeals court for defending checks and balances, protecting congressional authority, and reminding Donald Trump that even the president must follow the law.

In solidarity,
