华盛顿，4月29日（路透社）——一个由历史保护和建筑团体组成的联盟将于周三向一名法官提起诉讼，要求叫停唐纳德·特朗普总统政府对肯尼迪表演艺术中心的大规模翻新计划，这是特朗普重塑华盛顿法律权限争议的最新一例。
华盛顿美国地区法官克里斯托弗·库珀将于美国东部时间上午10点（格林尼治标准时间14:00）举行听证会，考虑对3月份由全国历史保护信托基金、美国建筑师协会及其他六个团体提起的诉讼发布初步禁令。

这些团体辩称，特朗普和肯尼迪中心董事会缺乏法律权限，在未获得美国国会批准和强制性监管审查的情况下，对这座著名演艺场馆进行改建。
“华盛顿是山巅之城，不应该——根据联邦法律也绝不能被秘密或闪电式拆除或翻新，更绝不能按照行政长官的个人心血来潮行事，”原告方在向库珀提交的文件中写道。
特朗普旨在重塑纪念地标
法官已准许保护组织和特朗普政府对特朗普任命的肯尼迪中心执行主任马修·弗洛卡进行质询。

特朗普计划对该中心进行翻新——他已将中心名称加上自己的名字并悬挂在建筑外——这是这位共和党领导人重塑华盛顿核心纪念地整体计划的一部分。他还打算在已拆除的白宫东翼旧址上建造一座250英尺（76米）高的拱门和一个9万平方英尺的宴会厅。
这些其他计划也面临法庭挑战。一家联邦上诉法院已允许特朗普政府在审理相关案件期间推进宴会厅建设。
在肯尼迪中心相关诉讼中，特朗普政府在提交给库珀的法庭文件中表示，计划中的工程仅限于现有建筑和场地，且国会去年通过拨款2.567亿美元用于翻新，实际上已授权该项目。
原告方则辩称，这笔拨款仅用于“资本维修、恢复、维护积压项目和安全设施的必要开支”。
去年，特朗普称这座为纪念前民主党总统约翰·F·肯尼迪而建的肯尼迪中心“状况极差”。

WASHINGTON, April 29 (Reuters) – A coalition of historic preservation and architecture groups will ask a judge on Wednesday to halt plans by President Donald Trump’s administration for a major renovation of the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, marking the latest clash over Trump’s legal authority to reshape Washington.
U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper in Washington will hold a hearing at 10 a.m. Eastern Time (1400 GMT) to consider issuing a preliminary injunction in a lawsuit filed in March by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the American Institute of Architects and six other groups.

The groups contend Trump and the Kennedy Center’s board lack the legal authority to proceed with their construction plans on the famed performing arts venue without U.S. congressional approval and mandatory regulatory review.
“It is a city upon a hill. It should not — and by federal law cannot — be demolished or overhauled in secret or at lightning speed, and certainly not at the executive’s personal whim,” the plaintiffs told Cooper.
TRUMP AIMS TO RESHAPE MONUMENTS
The judge has allowed the preservation groups and the Trump administration to question Matthew Floca, the Trump-appointed executive director of the Kennedy Center.

Trump’s plan to renovate the center, which he has already rebranded to include his name in its title and affixed to the building, is part of the Republican leader’s broader push to reshape Washington’s monumental core. He also intends to erect a 250-foot (76-meter) arch and build a 90,000-square-foot ballroom at the site of the demolished East Wing of the White House.
Those other efforts are also facing court challenges. A federal appeals court has allowed the Trump administration to move ahead with building the ballroom as it considers the case.
In the Kennedy Center lawsuit, the administration told Cooper in a court filing that the planned work is limited to the existing buildings and grounds, and that Congress last year effectively authorized the project by appropriating $256.7 million for renovation.
The plaintiffs contend the appropriation was limited to “necessary expenses for capital repair, restoration, maintenance backlog, and security structures.”
Last year, Trump said the Kennedy Center, dedicated as a memorial to former Democratic President John F. Kennedy, was in “tremendous disrepair.”
