Senate parliamentarian rules against Trump's $1 billion ballroom funding in budget reconciliation bill
The Senate parliamentarian issued a ruling late Saturday against including $1 billion in funding for President Trump's proposed White House ballroom renovation in the budget reconciliation package. The decision creates legal and procedural obstacles for the administration's construction plans. Trump has also proposed a 250-foot arch across the Potomac River, which may require separate congressional approval.
