周一晚间，一名共和党籍参议员在参议院阻挠了一项旨在保护肯尼迪艺术中心不被拆除的两党法案。
犹他州参议员迈克·李反对通过一项法案，该法案规定，任何由国会法案指定的总统纪念场所——包括肯尼迪艺术中心——未经国会批准不得拆除。
法案支持者试图通过无异议同意请求这一快速程序推动法案通过，但任何一名参议员都可以反对该请求。

此举出台之际，本月早些时候有人拍到唐纳德·特朗普总统查看一张疑似写有“拆除肯尼迪艺术中心”的海报，数小时后，他的政府告知法官，这家华盛顿艺术机构因“结构老化”必须关闭。
民主党参议员杰夫·默克利提出了该法案。共和党参议员丽莎·穆尔科斯基以及民主党参议员杰克·里德、谢尔登·怀特豪斯和克里斯·范·霍伦也共同发起了这项法案。
“特朗普认为，如果他不能接管该中心并以自己的名字命名，抹去肯尼迪的名字，那么就没有人可以在此演出，也没有人可以前来观看演出。事实上，这座建筑绝不能继续存在，”默克利周一在参议院发言时表示。
他补充道，该法案“旨在维护法治、三权分立，以及我们是共和国这一事实，同时也为了纪念约翰·肯尼迪遇刺时举国哀悼，而这里正是我们缅怀他的纪念场所”。
李反对该法案并终止对法案的进一步辩论，但未就其反对立场发表声明。美国有线电视新闻网已联系李的办公室寻求置评。

A bipartisan effort aimed at protecting the Kennedy Center from demolition was blocked on the Senate floor Monday night by a lone Republican senator.
Sen. Mike Lee of Utah objected to passage of a bill stipulating that any presidential memorial designated by an act of Congress — including the Kennedy Center — could not be demolished without congressional approval.
Supporters of the bill attempted to pass it via a fast-track process known as a unanimous consent request. But any single senator can object to such a request.

The move comes after President Donald Trump was photographed earlier this month reviewing a poster that appeared to read “Kennedy Center DEMOLISHED,” hours before his administration told a judge the Washington arts institution had to be closed due to “structural deterioration.”
Democratic Sen. Jeff Merkley introduced the bill. GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski and Democratic Sens. Jack Reed, Sheldon Whitehouse and Chris Van Hollen also sponsored the measure.
“Trump believes that if he can’t take over and name it after himself and wipe Kennedy’s name off of it, no one can go to perform and no one can go to listen to someone perform. In fact, the building must not remain standing,” Merkley said on the Senate floor Monday.
He added that the bill is “standing up for the rule of law, the separation of powers, and the fact that we are a republic, and standing up for the fact that our nation wept at the assassination of John Kennedy, and this is a memorial that we go to to remember him.”
Lee objected to the measure and to further debate on the bill, without giving a statement on his opposition. CNN has reached out to Lee’s office for comment.
