Board Rules 'Unanimously' To Name Kennedy Center After Trump
HuffPost
The name change will probably face a legal battle.
A board filled with members chosen by President Donald Trump voted “unanimously” to rename the Kennedy Center to the Trump-Kennedy Center, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced Thursday.
However, the name change will probably face a legal battle because the law prohibits such changes without Congressional approval, NBC News previously reported. Shortly after the news, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) said the move was not possible “in the absence of legislative action.”
Leavitt said the name change was due to the work “Trump has done over the last year in saving the building. Not only from the standpoint of its reconstruction, but also financially, and its reputation.”
She congratulated Trump and also former President John F. Kennedy, “because this will be a truly great team long into the future!”
Trump spoke positively about the move on Thursday.
