US Politics Daily@uspoliticsdailyPresident Trump has signed a proclamation making the Oval Office and Cabinet Room a national monument, aimed at keeping future presidents from making major changes to them. He plans to send the designation to Congress for approval.
Later presidents could still update the decor and make routine security changes, as long as the rooms' historic character is not significantly harmed. Major modifications would need congressional sign-off.
The move came two days after Republicans took heavy losses in the midterms, and Trump's recent remarks have centered largely on White House renovations.
