Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the designation of the "Donald J. Trump and the John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts" constitutes a violation of Federal law, and for other purposes.

This resolution expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that the recent redesignation of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts to include Donald J. Trump's name constitutes a violation of federal law. The John F. Kennedy Center Act , enacted in 1964, established the center as the sole national memorial to President John F. Kennedy, honoring his dedication to the advancement of mankind and the performing arts. Congress expressly mandated that it be the only national memorial to JFK within Washington, D.C., and prohibited the installation of additional memorials or plaques in its public areas. In 2025, President Trump replaced the Board of Trustees for the John F. Kennedy Center and installed himself as Chairman. Subsequently, the revised Board voted to redesignate the building as "The Donald J. Trump and the John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts," with new signage installed without congressional authorization. This action occurred amidst broader efforts by the Trump administration to terminate federal arts and humanities grants and implement staffing cuts at related agencies, including the National Endowment for the Arts and Humanities. The resolution concludes that the redesignation contravenes the express intent of Congress to solely honor President Kennedy with a national monument. It calls for the immediate restoration of the original signage for the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and demands the prompt resignation of all officers and members appointed by President Trump to the Board of Trustees.
