The Commemorative Works Act and 40 U.S.C. \u00a7 8106 both require express authorization from Congress before any monument or structure is built on federal reservations, parks, or public grounds in the nation&#8217;s capital. The Independence Arch, slated for Memorial Circle in Lady Bird Johnson Park, has received no such authorization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cAmericans are having to choose between gas and groceries, and the President&#8217;s priority is spending millions of dollars on another vanity project \u2014 the &#8216;Arc de Trump,&#8217;\u201d&nbsp;<strong>said Ranking Member Huffman.<\/strong>&nbsp;\u201cFor over two hundred years, Congress has held authority over what monuments rise in our nation&#8217;s capital. The Lincoln Memorial, the World War II Memorial, the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial; every one followed the law and went through Congress. And now, without any legal authority whatsoever, he wants to build himself the largest arch in the world \u2014 bigger than the Arc de Triomphe, taller than the Statue of Liberty \u2014 on land owned by the American people. Who does he think he is? He&#8217;s not a pharaoh. He&#8217;s a public servant, and he ought to answer to the law like everyone else. We didn&#8217;t let monarchs build monuments to themselves in 1776, and we&#8217;re not letting some wannabe king start now.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cOur national parks and public lands are not a canvas for a president\u2019s offensive vanity projects.

In October 2025, Trump demolished the historic East Wing of the White House to make way for a 90,000-square-foot gilded ballroom, proceeding without approval from the National Capital Planning Commission.
