Trump asks Supreme Court to allow ballroom work to continue
🐿️ The Squirrel's Take
This is a creative use of national security to bypass Congress for a ballroom, but the court may see it as an overreach.
💡 Why it matters
The outcome could set a precedent on executive power to fund projects without congressional approval.
The Trump administration has asked the Supreme Court to allow construction of a White House ballroom, arguing that halting it would leave the president 'much less safe' after an appeals court ruled the work lacked necessary congressional approval.
