House Democrats Step Up Bid To Remove Trump’s Name From the Kennedy Center

A federal suit contends the 1964 law makes any renaming the sole province of Congress.

Overview

Rep. Joyce Beatty, a Kennedy Center trustee, has sued to nullify the December board vote and to restore the statutory name.
The administration is expected to file its formal response to the lawsuit by the end of February, according to CBS News.
Rep. April McClain Delaney introduced a bill requiring removal of any signage that departs from “John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.”
Rep. Stephen Lynch submitted a House resolution asserting the renaming violates federal law.
After Trump allies replaced trustees, elected him chair, and installed Richard Grenell as interim president, cancellations mounted, the Washington National Opera said it will leave, and plaintiffs’ counsel described the damages as substantial.
