俄亥俄州民主党众议员乔伊丝·比蒂周四向联邦法院提交紧急请求，要求阻止肯尼迪中心在其建筑外立面恢复特朗普的名字1。特朗普支持者主导的董事会本月早些时候投票通过在该场馆外立面刻上铭文"The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts Restored and Renovated By President Donald J. Trump"，若特朗普肯尼迪中心基金达到1亿美元，还将添加第二块铭文"Endowed by the Trump Kennedy Center Fund"1。
这一举措违反了联邦法律。根据1964年国会的规定，该表演艺术中心被定为纪念肯尼迪的生活纪念馆，联邦法律明确禁止董事会将其转为他人纪念馆或在建筑外部放置他人名字1。联邦地区法官克里斯托弗·库珀曾在5月裁定肯尼迪中心非法添加特朗普名字并下令删除，该机构已在6月遵行此裁决1。肯尼迪中心随后承诺在9月8日前不尝试在建筑上刻上特朗普名字1。
Ohio Democratic Representative Joyce Beatty filed an emergency request with federal court on Thursday seeking to prevent the Kennedy Center from returning Donald Trump's name to the building's exterior 1. The Trump-backed board voted earlier this month to inscribe "The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts Restored and Renovated By President Donald J. Trump" on the venue's facade, a move that violates federal law 1.
Congress designated the performing arts center as a living memorial to President John F. Kennedy in 1964, and the governing statute explicitly prohibits the board from converting it into a memorial to another person or placing another person's name on the building's exterior 1. Federal District Judge Christopher Cooper ruled in May that the Kennedy Center's earlier addition of Trump's name was illegal and ordered its removal, which the institution complied with in June 1. The center has committed not to attempt inscribing Trump's name on the building before September 8 1. Should the Trump Kennedy Center Fund reach $100 million, an additional inscription reading "Endowed by the Trump Kennedy Center Fund" was also planned 1.
