Build the Ballroom Act
Sponsored By: Representative Fine, Randy [R-FL-6]
Introduced
Summary
Authorizes construction of a permanent ballroom on the White House grounds to let the President host larger on-site formal events and reduce security risks tied to off-campus gatherings. The bill cites limits that keep formal events under 200 attendees and names past threats, including the March 30, 1981 assassination attempt on President Ronald Reagan and the April 25, 2026 attempted assassination at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner, and it would let the President alone approve a permanent, furnished facility with heating and electricity, designed for the needs of the President and the Executive Office, and allow removal of existing structures to make room.
