Chief Justice Roberts has temporarily greenlit construction on Trump’s $400 million White House ballroom, just hours before lower courts were poised to halt aboveground work — setting the stage for a high-stakes Supreme Court showdown over presidential power. The dispute centers on whether the president can unilaterally renovate federal property without congressional approval, with the administration citing national security as justification. While courts have been split — some siding with historic preservationists who argue the project is being rushed to evade legal scrutiny — the administration insists it has broad authority. With belowground work already underway and appeals courts divided, the Chief Justice’s brief intervention leaves the fate of the ballroom hanging — and the nation watching as the court weighs executive power against oversight.
