Trump asks Supreme Court to let him build ballroom, citing national security needs and architectural values
President Donald Trump is asking the Supreme Court to allow him to build a ballroom at the White House, citing previous threats to Trumpâs life, national security needs and architectural values.
The emergency request filed Friday comes after lower courts repeatedly ruled that Trump needed approval from Congress before moving forward with the $400 million project. The filing also includes new renderings of the ballroom that show stylistic changes, including the addition of at least two large presidential seals in gold on the outside of the building.
The latest rebuke came last week, when an appeals court in Washington, DC, said the president lacked any authority to unilaterally pursue the planned ballroom and ordered him to stop work at the site of the former East Wing until lawmakers gave their blessing. But the court paused implementation of its decision for 14 days to give Trump time to appeal to the justices.

Trump appeals to Supreme Court to allow White House ballroom construction to continue
The administration is asking the high court to allow construction to continue.
The Trump administration is asking the Supreme Court to allow construction of President Donald Trump's White House ballroom to continue after a lower court put it on pause.
The administration on Friday asked the high court for an emergency stay of the injunction, which would halt substantial portions of the above-ground construction of the White House East Wing and ballroom while litigation plays out over its legality.
The injunction is set to take effect on Aug. 21 unless the Supreme Court acts.
The district court order would still allow below-ground construction or any other measures necessary to protect national security and the president's safety.
