唐纳德·特朗普总统提议在华盛顿特区纪念圈建造的250英尺高拱门——他曾称这将是世界上最大的拱门——遭到三名越南退伍军人的反对，他们表示该项目将阻断林肯纪念堂、阿灵顿国家公墓和阿灵顿庄园之间的景观，这些景观是华盛顿特区及周边地区最知名的景观之一。
退伍军人迈克尔·莱蒙、肖恩·伯恩斯和乔恩·贡德森，以及建筑历史学家考尔德·洛思，已经就这座“伟大凯旋门”与特朗普政府打了数月的法律战。
“我们的原告是三名越南退伍军人和一名建筑历史学家。他们都与阿灵顿国家公墓有着深厚的私人渊源，”代表原告的公共公民诉讼小组律师尼古拉斯·桑松告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。“其中两名退伍军人原告希望日后能安葬在这里。”

特朗普曾表示，该拱门应建在阿灵顿国家公墓附近。这里是超过40万名军人的最终安息地。
该项目的批评者认为，这座拟建建筑有失公墓庄严肃穆的氛围。此外，特朗普政府在一份规划文件中承认，该项目将“对历史建筑产生不利影响”。
“在保留该项目依赖特定地点的设计初衷的同时，无法完全避免此类不利影响，”国家公园管理局在文件中写道。
桑松表示，美国首都的设计初衷是防止历史地标被其他建筑遮挡。

“美国首都的规划有一个核心设计特征，即以非常刻意的方式打造波托马克河东侧的林肯纪念堂与西侧阿灵顿国家公墓内的罗伯特·E·李纪念堂阿灵顿庄园之间的无遮挡景观，”他说。
“因此我们的原告……真正担心的是这座巨型建筑将对这种历史性的象征性景观造成影响，而他们每个人都认为这种景观意义非凡，”他补充道。

特朗普政府援引了1925年的一项法律，该法律最初授权在华盛顿特区建造一对166英尺高的柱子，但该项目从未动工。
政府官员辩称，过去国会的批准为该凯旋门项目“祖父条款”豁免，使他们无需获得国会授权。
“问题的核心其实是一个制度性问题：谁有权做决定？是坐在白宫里的一个人，还是应该通过民主审议程序来决定这些纪念碑应该是什么样子、建在哪里、纪念什么，诸如此类的问题，”桑松说。
“国会授权在特定时间、特定价格上限下在特定地点建造特定项目，而如今该授权委员会早已解散，我们不能合理地依靠这项授权来批准一个截然不同的独立项目，这个项目在数百年后的今天花费将远超当初，”他补充道。

President Donald Trump’s proposed 250-foot arch at Memorial Circle in Washington, D.C.—which he said would be the largest in the world—is being opposed by three Vietnam veterans who say the project would block views between the Lincoln Memorial, Arlington National Cemetery, and Arlington House, some of the most well-known views in and around the city.
Veterans Michael Lemmon, Shaun Byrnes, and Jon Gundersen—along with architectural historian Calder Loth—have been engaged in a months-long legal battle with the Trump administration over the “Great Triumphal Arch”.
“Our plaintiffs are three Vietnam veterans and an architectural historian. All of them have a deep personal relationship with Arlington National Cemetery,” Nicolas Sansone, an attorney with the Public Citizen Litigation Group representing the plaintiffs, told Fox News Digital. “Two of our veteran plaintiffs hope to be buried there.”

Trump has said the arch should be built near Arlington National Cemetery, which serves as the final resting place for more than 400,000 military service members.
Critics of the project contend that the planned structure is disrespectful to the solemn character of the cemetery. In addition, the Trump administration acknowledged in a planning document that the project will have “adverse effects on historic properties”.
“Such adverse effects cannot be fully avoided while retaining the location-dependent purpose of the undertaking,” the National Park Service wrote in the document.
The nation’s capital was designed to keep historic landmarks from being obscured by other structures, Sansone said.

“One of the sort of central design features is that the capital has been laid out in a very deliberate way to create this uninterrupted view between the Lincoln Memorial on the east side of the Potomac River and Arlington House, the Robert E. Lee Memorial, on the west side in Arlington National Cemetery,” he said.
“So our plaintiffs… are really sort of concerned about the impact that this sort of enormous structure is going to have on that sort of historic symbolic view that each of them finds really meaningful,” he added.

Earlier this month, the administration announced that excavation work for the project would begin within the next two weeks.
The plaintiffs have asked a federal judge to issue a temporary restraining order to keep the project from moving forward, saying it can’t be built without authorization from Congress.

The Trump administration has cited a 1925 law that originally authorized a pair of 166-foot columns in Washington, D.C., that were never built.
Administration officials argue that past congressional approval grandfathers the triumphal arch project and allows them to avoid authorization from Congress.
“The idea is that really it’s just an institutional question of who gets to decide: Is it one person, the person sitting in the White House, or should it be a sort of democratic deliberative process to sort of figure out what these monuments should look like, where they should be situated, what they should commemorate, and the like,” Sansone said.

“Congress’s authorization to have a particular project built at a particular time subject to a specific price cap by a now-disbanded commission can’t reasonably be relied on to authorize a totally different independent project that’s going to cost way more money centuries into the future,” he added.
