WASHINGTON (CN) — A group of Democratic lawmakers have joined U.S. military veterans in urging a federal court to block President Donald Trump’s plan to build an enormous arch in the nation’s capital, arguing the project tramples on constitutional separation of powers.
The proposed 250-foot arch, Democrats told a federal judge in a recent court filing, can’t be built on federal land in Washington without an act of Congress. They say allowing Trump to move forward with the monument could lead to an “unchecked proliferation” of presidential construction projects in the future and could threaten existing public spaces in the district.
