House would declare Kennedy Center name change violates federal law
The House of Representatives would state its opinion that renaming the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts to include "Donald J. Trump" goes against federal law. This bill would also call for the original name to be put back and for the current board members, appointed by President Trump, to step down. It aims to uphold the original intent of Congress to honor President Kennedy solely with this national memorial.
Today, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts has new signage that includes "Donald J. Trump" in its name. If this bill passes, the House of Representatives would formally state its opinion that this name change is illegal. It would also state that the original signage should be put back. It would also ask the current Board of Trustees to resign.
