3月27日，白宫施工期间，柱廊的步道被挖开。
一名联邦法官周二阻止唐纳德·特朗普总统继续推进在白宫东翼旧址上建造一座耗资4亿美元的大型新宴会厅的任何进一步工程。
“美国总统是白宫为后世第一家庭保管的管家。但他并非所有者！”理查德·利昂法官写道。
作为前总统乔治·W·布什的任命官员，利昂表示，他将推迟两周执行其裁决，以便各方可能提起上诉。但他警告称，“未来14天内任何不符合本裁决的地上施工，都有可能根据本案结果被拆除。”
“除非且直到国会通过法定授权批准该项目，否则建设必须停止！”利昂写道，并补充道，好消息是特朗普和国会可以共同努力为该项目获得授权。
作为前房地产开发商，特朗普本人亲自参与了宴会厅的细节工作，从平面图到大理石选材。
“我忙得抽不出时间来做这件事，但——我在打仗和处理其他事务，但这非常重要，因为它将长期伴随着我们，”他周日晚间在空军一号上对记者表示，并补充道，“我认为这将是世界上任何地方都有的最棒的宴会厅。”
首席建筑师沙洛姆·巴兰斯表示，该宴会厅项目的预计面积约为8.9万平方英尺。相比之下，白宫主体建筑行政官邸仅为5.5万平方英尺。
特朗普坚称该项目不受任何监督，他应该能够在不受任何严格审查的情况下继续推进。他承诺该项目将于2028年夏季完工，比他离任早数月。
法官称国会可批准该项目
利昂强调国会可以发挥作用。
“总统可以随时前往国会，获得建造宴会厅并使用私人资金进行建设的明确授权，”利昂写道。“事实上，国会甚至可以选择为宴会厅拨款，或者至少认定其他一些融资方案是可接受的。”
“无论哪种方式，国会都将保留对国家财产的管理权和对政府支出的监督权，”这位法官写道。“美国人民将受益于政府各部门履行宪法规定的职责。这可不是坏结果！”
CNN已联系白宫和议长迈克·约翰逊的办公室，询问下一步行动以及国会最终是否会就批准该项目的法案进行投票。
白宫此前多次表示，任何地上建筑最早可于4月开工——而此次裁决出台之际，距离一个由特朗普亲信组成的关键委员会预计批准该计划仅数日之遥。
负责监督美国首都联邦建筑和土地规划的国家首都规划委员会定于周四上午对该项目进行最终投票。尽管数千条公众评论压倒性反对该计划，但外界普遍预计投票将获得通过。
更正：本文已更新，以明确利昂法官是由乔治·W·布什总统任命的。

Judge rules that White House ballroom construction ‘has to stop!’

A federal judge on Tuesday blocked President Donald Trump from moving ahead with any further work on a massive new $400 million ballroom on the former site of the White House’s East Wing.
“The President of the United States is the steward of the White House for future generations of First Families. He is not, however, the owner!” Judge Richard Leon wrote.
Leon, an appointee of former President George W. Bush, said he was delaying implementation of his ruling for two weeks for a possible appeal. But he warned that “any above-ground construction over the next fourteen days that is not in compliance” with his ruling “is at risk of being taken down depending on the outcome of this case.”
“(U)nless and until Congress blesses this project through statutory authorization, construction has to stop!” Leon wrote, adding that the the good news” is that Trump and Congress can work to authorize the project.
Trump, a former real estate developer, has been personally involved in ballroom details, from floor plans to marble selection.
“I’m so busy that I don’t have time to do this, but – I’m fighting wars and other things, but this is very important, because this is going to be with us for a long time,” he told reporters aboard Air Force One Sunday evening, adding, “I think it’ll be the greatest ballroom anywhere in the world.”
The ballroom project has an estimated size of approximately 89,000 square feet, according to lead architect Shalom Baranes. By contrast, the primary White House structure, the Executive Mansion, is just 55,000 square feet.
Trump has maintained that the project isn’t subject to any oversight and that he should be able to continue with it without any serious scrutiny. He has promised it will be complete in the summer of 2028, months before he leaves office.
Judge says Congress can approve
Leon emphasized that Congress has a role to play.
“The President may at any time go to Congress to obtain express authority to construct a ballroom and to do so with private funds,” Leon wrote. “Indeed, Congress may even choose to appropriate funds for the ballroom, or at least decide that some other funding scheme is acceptable.”
““Either way, Congress will thereby retain its authority over the nation’s property and its oversight over the Government’s spending,” the judge wrote. “And the American people will benefit from the branches of Government exercising their constitutionally prescribed roles. Not a bad outcome, that!”
CNN has reached out to the White House and to the office of Speaker Mike Johnson for information on next steps and whether Congress could ultimately vote on a bill to approve the project.
The White House has repeatedly said that any above-grade construction could begin as soon as April – and the ruling also comes days before a key commission stacked with Trump loyalists is expected to green-light the plans.
The National Capital Planning Commission, which oversees planning for federal buildings and land in the nation’s capital, is set to hold a final vote on the project Thursday morning that is widely expected to pass despite thousands of public comments overwhelmingly opposing the plans.
