Some members of the Kennedy family and several lawmakers expressed opposition to the move and questioned its legality.
The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington donned a new name — the Trump-Kennedy Center — on the exterior of the building Friday, just a day after Donald Trump’s hand-picked board voted to change the arts institution’s name.
The move came despite concerns about the legality of the shift and objections from members of the Kennedy family and lawmakers on both sides of the aisle after the center announced that its board on Thursday voted unanimously to approve the name change.
Legal experts told NBC News earlier this year that the Eisenhower, Kennedy and Johnson administration-era statutes governing the creation of the Kennedy Center had enshrined the original name in legislation. They added that a new law passed by both chambers of Congress and signed by the president would be needed to change the name.
Those workers need to be named in the lawsuit. This “just following [work] orders” business needs to stop. SCOTUS says Trump is untouchable but not the ones that follow his orders.
The looks on their faces in the photo…they weren’t ‘just following orders’, but proud and fully aware of their work.
