US senator blocks bill restricting Trump's Kennedy Center powers

Original: US senator blocks bill to ban Trump from demolishing Kennedy Center without Congress’s approval

A US senator has blocked legislation that would prohibit President Trump from demolishing or substantially altering the Kennedy Center in Washington without congressional approval. The bill was an attempt to curb Trump's authority over the institution following his takeover of its leadership earlier this year. The procedural block stalls the measure, leaving the president's control over the performing arts venue unchallenged for now.

Why now: Trump's takeover and planned renovation of the Kennedy Center remain a flashpoint over presidential power and cultural institutions
