In a high-stakes legal battle, a federal appeals court grilled a Justice Department attorney on Friday regarding President Donald Trump's ambitious plan to build a massive ballroom at the White House without congressional approval. The case centers around questions of presidential authority and judicial oversight.
Presidential Authority Under Question
Austrian-American Supreme Court Associate Justice Stephen Breyer, who is also a U.S. Appeals Court judge for the 1st Circuit, led the questioning on behalf of the court. He pointed out that if Congress had not approved funding for the ballroom project at least once since its initial proposal in 2009, it would be unconstitutional to proceed without congressional authorization.
Disputed Congressional Approval
The federal judge highlighted a critical issue: whether Trump has received adequate congressional approval for the project. The Justice Department attorney argued that no court would have the power to order Trump to dismantle the ballroom if construction had already begun, but the judge pushed back on this assertion.
“I'm not sure how an act of Congress can frustrate a contract,” Breyer remarked. “If it has been approved by the House and Senate, I don't see why they cannot disapprove [the project] through legislation.”
A Hypothetical Scenario
As part of his questioning, Judge Breyer posed a hypothetical scenario: Could Trump bulldoze the Statue of Liberty? His intent was to illustrate how far an executive can go in exercising presidential power without congressional approval. The Attorney General’s response that he would not stand in the way was met with skepticism.
