Referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, and in addition to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
H.R. 8537, introduced in April 2026, would authorize the President to design and construct a ballroom facility on the White House grounds. The bill grants the President sole authority over the design and approval of the ballroom, meaning no other federal agency or body would need to approve the project. The legislation applies specifically to White House operations and would affect how the President can modify the White House property. The bill contains no specified funding amount or construction timeline, leaving those details to be determined by the President if the legislation passes. The bill was referred to the House Committees on Oversight and Government Reform and Transportation and Infrastructure for consideration.
