A federal appeals court ruled that the Trump administration cannot build a $400 million ballroom at the White House without congressional approval, halting above-ground construction while allowing below-ground security-related work to continue.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Congress now has clearer control over major White House construction projects, restricting executive unchecked power. If you work in federal construction or heritage preservation, this opens new doors to influence project approvals.
