House Republicans have proposed renaming the Kennedy Center and opera house after President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump — but the change would violate the law that created the center, according to a new report.
Last week, Republicans passed an amendment in committee that would rename the opera house after the first lady. The measure is now part of legislation funding the interior department, but the legislation would have to be voted through the full House and Senate before becoming law. Idaho Republican Rep. Mike Simpson sponsored the legislation.
