The hostage taking over the name change is: "There's not enough $ to fix the Kennedy Center unless Trump's name is on it."

As part of the big beautiful bill, Congress has already turned over $257 million. Why won't the Board spend THAT...and then engage in fundraising if anything else is needed?

The Center has lost $100 million in revenue since Trump became chairman of its Board.

Which law?


ChatGPT:

This is the provision I was referring to before: 20 U.S.C. § 76j(b).
It says:
“Except as provided in paragraph (2) ... no additional memorials or plaques in the nature of memorials shall be designated or installed in the public areas of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.”

Obviously, this is what is being litigated before Judge Cooper.

Weird to put someone's name on a building for restoring it BEFORE it has been restored. Right?

What are you talking about? The Supreme Court ruled that the ballroom can be built.

YOU said the law forbids it. That’s a claim you made. I asked you which law? Can you not articulate your allegation?

Trump didn't seek Congressional permission for demolishing the entire East Wing of the White House after saying the ballroom wouldn't even touch the WH.

1). Renaming it is not a plaque or memorial.

2). There are exceptions you didn’t list.

Your claim that the law doesn’t allow his name to be on it is incorrect. Why would you make a false claim in your OP?

No it doesn’t. Changing the name is not a plaque or memorial. It is specifically referring to those two things. That’s it.

Why would he need permission? How many times in the past has the white house been renovated? Good Lord you TDS losers whine about everything. You prefer the tent with the muddy walkways? So dumb.

It's already been shot down in court, man. This is stupid.

Congress designated the building the John F. Kennedy Center.
Congress required it to contain a suitable memorial to JFK.
Congress subsequently restricted the Board from adding additional memorials.

You're arguing semantics here and for no good reason really.

The law states “plaques or memorials.” It also lists exceptions. The law is not semantics. The law is the law. It does not restrict adding a name to the center.
