Currently, the White House is exempt from certain oversight under the National Historic Preservation Act.<\/p>\n<p>Raskin&#8217;s bill, called the &#8220;People&#8217;s White House Historic Preservation Act,&#8221; would require White House renovations to undergo a so-called &#8220;Section 106 review,&#8221; a pre-ground breaking assessment that addresses the impact of renovations on historic buildings and allows the public to weigh in.<\/p>\n<p>The legislation comes three months after construction crews began work on a privately-financed, 90,000-square-foot ballroom addition that will cost about <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/demolish-white-house-east-wing-ballroom-trump-cost\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">$300 million<\/a><\/span>. A construction crane hangs over the site where the East Wing once stood. <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/white-house-ballroom-east-wing-demolition\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">It was demolished<\/a><\/span> in late October, even though President Trump had previously said the new construction would be &#8220;near it but not touching it \u2014 and pays total respect to the existing building.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Trump has reveled in how easy it&#8217;s been to fast track the project. In October, Mr. Trump recounted being told, &#8220;Sir, this is the White House, you&#8217;re the president of the United States, you can do anything you want.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s kings who treat public property as private property,&#8221; Raskin, the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, told CBS News in a phone interview. &#8220;It&#8217;s not his house; it&#8217;s our house. And if there is going to be construction and renovation expansion or changes, that should go through a regular public process.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The White House asserts Mr. Trump has &#8220;full legal authority to modernize, renovate, and beautify the White House.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Aside from <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/trump-white-house-ballroom-tech-business-dinner\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">renderings Mr. Trump has shown<\/a><\/span> at various events, ballroom schematics have faced little formal scrutiny \u2014 but that may soon change.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In a court filing late Monday, the administration said consultations &#8220;will soon be underway&#8221; with the National Capital Planning Commission and the Commission of Fine Arts, two independent advisory boards overseeing federal projects in the Washington area. The administration added that it was not legally bound to confer with either board and that above-ground ballroom construction would begin in April at the earliest.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Raskin&#8217;s bill would mandate consultations with both commissions prior to ground breaking.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>At its monthly meeting in early December, NCPC chairman Will Scharf, who is also a White House staffer, said the White House was not required to submit demolition plans because the commission only oversees new construction.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We simply do not have jurisdiction over demolition and site preparation work; that what we&#8217;re really concerned about here is visible architecture \u2014 is above-ground build,&#8221; Scharf said, adding that NCPC would play a &#8220;constructive role&#8221; when the time comes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/12\/16\/32746afc-fde6-497b-a67a-e9bd89186c0a\/thumbnail\/620x413\/bc4a67b3341613eefafb39d2e2d2d332\/gettyimages-2250272998.jpg#\" alt=\"Trump Replaces Architect To Lead $300 Million Ballroom Design \" height=\"413\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/12\/16\/32746afc-fde6-497b-a67a-e9bd89186c0a\/thumbnail\/620x413\/bc4a67b3341613eefafb39d2e2d2d332\/gettyimages-2250272998.jpg 1x, https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/12\/16\/32746afc-fde6-497b-a67a-e9bd89186c0a\/thumbnail\/1240x826\/3f14616ed847c83960550835571b7990\/gettyimages-2250272998.jpg 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">File: Demolition of East Wing of White House, during construction on the new ballroom extension of the White House in Washington, DC, on Dec. 9, 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                Aaron Schwartz \/ Bloomberg via Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Raskin argues that leveling the East Wing without a review process was a violation of destruction of federal property laws, though he acknowledges the president cannot be prosecuted under those statutes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Currently, Raskin&#8217;s legislation has 27 Democratic co-sponsors.
