## Resource

A fiery courtroom showdown erupts over a controversial White House ballroom project, as the government argues the president can bulldoze historic landmarks—even illegal ones—as long as Congress doesn’t act. The National Trust counters that federal land, especially national parks, need congressional approval for major changes. Judges question the administration’s claim of unchecked power, while one raises doubts about the Trust’s legal standing. With steel already poured and national security cited as justification, the court grapples with whether the Constitution lets presidents build ballrooms without Congress’s green light.
