[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Quick reminder that there is actual legislation that dictates what can be done with the Kennedy Center: the JFK Center Act. The name is set by federal statute, so changes typically require an act of Congress. Major shutdowns or extensive renovations often need congressional approval for funding and oversight.

Key Provisions of the JFK Center Act:

*Setup & Name: Bureau of Smithsonian; named "John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts" as national memorial to JFK (sole one in D.C.); changes require Congress.

*Board: Oversees ops, programs, maintenance; includes presidential appointees, Congress members, etc.

*Duties/Powers: Promote arts; manage site/events; accept gifts; major renos/expansions need congressional approval/funding.

*Funding: Annual appropriations for ops/maintenance/capital; big projects via Congress.

Someone needs to sue the Trump administration on behalf of the Kennedy Center. [/quote]

If you can knock down the White house, the Kennedy Center is for sure fine [/quote]
