White House Ballroom Battle
Description
The White House is racing to build a massive 1,000-person ballroom—already costing $40 million—amid a high-stakes legal battle over who controls government construction once it’s underway. With underground security systems already installed, the administration argues national security justifies moving forward, claiming only Congress can halt it now. Preservationists, however, insist Congress must approve such a lavish expansion, calling the security rationale a stretch to justify aesthetics. Judges are probing the legal boundaries between executive power and congressional oversight, while the fate of the project hangs in the balance as both sides dig in.
