Project Plan Leveraging Historical Authorization
The Trump administration aims to construct a 250-foot triumphal arch near Arlington National Cemetery. The administration plans to utilize a 101-year-old authorization originally meant for a different project at the site.
No Congressional Approval Sought
Officials have decided not to seek new approval from Congress for the arch. They argue that the existing authorization suffices and negates the need for further legislative permission.
Site Preparations Underway
On May 15, workers conducted measurements at Memorial Circle, which is the designated site for the arch.
