## Resource

A proposed 250-foot Trump triumphal arch in Washington D.C. is sparking a legal and public firestorm, challenging a 1910 height law that caps buildings at 130 feet. The Trump administration argues federal projects are exempt, while preservationists and veterans’ groups warn it violates historic plans and could block key views — even launching a lawsuit. The National Capital Planning Commission is stalling, demanding more info, while the Commission of Fine Arts, stacked with Trump appointees, already approved the design. Polls show most Americans oppose the arch, but the legal battle is far from over, with FAA consultations and congressional approval questions still hanging in the balance.
