6月11日(路透社)——美国总统唐纳德·特朗普政府周四就一项法院裁决提起上诉,该裁决要求移除肯尼迪中心的特朗普姓名,并阻止这位共和党籍领导人将华盛顿这座表演艺术场馆关闭两年进行翻修的计划。
这项向位于华盛顿的美国哥伦比亚特区巡回上诉法院提起的上诉,针对的是俄亥俄州民主党众议员乔伊斯·比蒂提起的诉讼中,法院对特朗普政府作出的全面不利裁决。比蒂凭借其国会议员职位,同时也是肯尼迪中心董事会成员。

白宫和比蒂的办公室未立即回应置评请求。
美国地区法官克里斯托弗·库珀5月29日裁定,联邦法律“明确无误”地表明,国会是以民主党前总统约翰·F·肯尼迪的名字命名该中心的,“且只有国会才能更改名称”。他下令移除建筑外立面、官网及其他材料上的特朗普姓名。
数小时后,特朗普在其Truth Social平台的帖子中表示,他的政府将把肯尼迪中心的管理权移交国会。
“我不能坐视公众危险公然泛滥,”特朗普称,该建筑存在严重失修问题。
特朗普表示,他已指示美国商务部“与国会做出一切必要安排,以实现该机构的全面完整移交”,并将该场馆的运营、维护和管理职责交给议员们。
肯尼迪中心于1971年开放,作为纪念这位1963年遇刺的已故总统的永久性场所。去年,特朗普更换了多名董事会成员并任命自己为受托人,该中心董事会于12月投票通过修改中心名称,加入特朗普的名字。
比蒂于12月起诉特朗普政府,称给建筑更名是“对法治的公然践踏”,“公然违背我们的宪法秩序”。
特朗普翻新肯尼迪中心的计划,是这位共和党领导人重塑华盛顿核心纪念区的整体举措的一部分。他还计划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。

Trump appeals court order to strip his name from Kennedy Center building

June 11 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration on Thursday filed an appeal of a court order that required Trump’s name to be removed from the Kennedy Center and blocked the Republican leader’s bid to close the Washington performing arts venue for a two-year renovation.
The appeal to the Washington-based U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit challenges a sweeping ruling against the administration in a lawsuit brought by Democratic U.S. Representative Joyce Beatty of Ohio, a member of the Kennedy Center’s board by virtue of her position in Congress.

The White House and Beatty’s office did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper ruled on May 29 that federal law “makes crystal clear” that Congress named the center for former Democratic President John F. Kennedy, “and only Congress can change it.” He ordered the removal of Trump’s name from the building’s facade, its website and other materials.
Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform hours later that his administration would transfer control of the Kennedy Center to Congress.
“I cannot be involved with a situation where danger to the Public is allowed to flourish in plain and open sight,” Trump said, saying the building was in serious disrepair.
Trump said he directed the U.S. Commerce Department to “make all necessary arrangements with Congress to allow a full and complete transfer of this Institution” and give lawmakers responsibility over its operation, maintenance and management.
The Kennedy Center opened in 1971 as a living memorial to the late president, who was slain in 1963. Its board voted in December to alter the center’s name to include Trump, who last year replaced several board members and appointed himself a trustee.
Beatty sued the Trump administration in December, calling the renaming of the building “a flagrant violation of the rule of law” that “flies in the face of our constitutional order.”
Trump’s plan to renovate the Kennedy Center is part of a broader push by the Republican leader to reshape Washington’s monumental core. He also intends to erect a 250-foot (76-meter) arch and to build a 90,000-square-foot ballroom at the site of the demolished East Wing of the White House.
