Trump asks US Supreme Court to allow White House ballroom construction to continue
The administration says the 65% complete project is needed for security and cites 1 million pounds of rebar and 3,000 cubic yards of concrete next week.
- On Friday, President Donald Trump filed an emergency request with the Supreme Court to resume his $400 million White House ballroom project after lower courts halted above-ground construction.
- Last week, the Circuit Court ordered Trump to stop above-ground work, ruling the project requires Congressional approval and constitutes unauthorized 'Executive self-help' without legislative authority.
- Architect Shalom Baranes designed the ballroom at approximately 89,000 square feet, nearly double the Executive Mansion's 55,000 square feet. Trump aims to complete it by summer 2028.
- Solicitor General John Sauer argued the construction is 'absolutely required' for presidential safety, calling the injunction 'judicial overreach.' The court paused its ruling for 14 days to allow the appeal.
- The National Trust for Historic Preservation brought the case last year, arguing Congress never authorized the Executive Branch to reshape the White House. This marks the first Supreme Court challenge to Trump's projects.
