Rep. Mike Levin(@RepMikeLevin):You just can’t make this stuff up. The President is going to break ground on his “Arch de Trump” in the coming weeks, BEFORE it has been properly reviewed by a federal panel and WITHOUT congressional authorization. I will say it again. It is blatantly ILLEGAL for Trump to pursue this vanity project without congressional authorization. This is an intentional disregard of Congress’s power, a disruption to the historic and symbolic monuments of DC, and an affront to a national resting place for over 400,000 service members. All for a rushed and gaudy display of power and personal ambition.
