AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would allow the President to build a ballroom on the White House grounds, regardless of any other law. The President alone would approve the ballroom, which would be planned around the needs of the President and the Executive Office of the President. The ballroom would be a permanent structure with heating, electricity, and furniture, and building it could include removing existing structures. The bill also states Congress's view that a ballroom on the grounds is needed because larger formal events are now held off site, and it cites past attacks at off-site events.
