US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order through which he intends to prevent future presidents from making major changes to the White House Office, announcing it as a national monument.
Trump stated that the presidential office, which he renovated during his mandate, will not be destroyed or rebuilt by future administrations.
We are announcing a national monument and no one will be allowed to touch, destroy, or destroy it to build something in a slightly different form, Trump said Thursday in front of reporters.
However, the order does not prohibit future presidents from changing their decorations, furniture or other common office elements, as long as the historical structure and its architectural character is not damaged, reports BBC The signal broadcasts.
The decision comes several months after Trump ordered the complete collapse of the White House Eastern Wing, under the project for building a new dance hall — a project that has faced legal challenges and did not receive the approval of the US Congress.
Trump named the Oval Office as a symbol of the country and its greatness, claiming that space had been in poor condition before its renovations.
Among the changes made during his mandate are the establishment of numerous gold decorative elements, the new representation of the Rose Garden, and the construction of a new helicopter landing platform.
The order envisions the National Parks Service caring for the Oval Office, protecting its historic character and architectural integrity.
However, it remains unclear whether a future president could abolish this decision. Executive orders can generally be annulled by the successor presidents, while the issue of revote of national monument status in this case has not yet been tested in court.
