联邦上诉法院作出裁决后，工作人员开始移除华盛顿特区肯尼迪中心上的唐纳德·特朗普姓名。法院驳回了保留该建筑上特朗普姓名的最后上诉，该姓名是在去年12月董事会全票通过后加上的。

路易斯安那州共和党参议员约翰·肯尼迪周日表示，在世公职人员不应有以其命名的建筑，并提议出台一项规定禁止此类更名行为。
此举正值唐纳德·特朗普总统继续推动将肯尼迪中心以自己的名字重新冠名。自去年重返白宫以来，特朗普还试图将华盛顿特区其他知名联邦建筑以自己的名字重新命名。
肯尼迪表示，包括特朗普在内的公职人员不应“将公款用于为自己做宣传广告”。
“白宫的看法不同，但……你不能动用公款……为自己造势，”肯尼迪在做客哥伦比亚广播公司《面向全国》节目时对主持人玛格丽特·布伦南说道。

肯尼迪发表此番言论之际，一则由联邦政府资助的宣传特朗普的新广告在多个电视台播出。
这位参议员随后提议，应禁止公职人员在世期间有以其命名的建筑。
“我可能会被戴上宽边大檐帽（注：指被嘲讽），但我也认为我们应该制定一条规则：任何政客在世时都不能有以其命名的建筑，”他说道。此话是针对去年特朗普分享显示参议院少数党领袖查克·舒默（纽约州民主党）和众议院少数党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯（纽约州民主党）戴着宽边大檐帽的AI视频并嘲讽他们的行为。
联邦法官下令移除肯尼迪中心上的特朗普姓名，称只有国会有权更名

特朗普自重返椭圆形办公室以来，已多次尝试将多座建筑以自己的名字重新冠名，其中包括肯尼迪中心。尽管由特朗普亲自挑选的肯尼迪中心董事会多次尝试将总统姓名加到建筑上，但联邦法官多次阻止了此类行动。
特朗普的姓名曾短暂出现在该建筑的外墙上，但在法院裁定只有国会有权更改该中心名称后，其姓名被下令移除。
国务院去年还将特朗普的姓名加到了美国和平研究所的名称中，但被特朗普政府解雇的前研究所官员本月早些时候提起法庭动议，阻止施工人员在该建筑外悬挂总统姓名。

今年早些时候，特朗普还暗示，他将把纽约宾夕法尼亚车站和华盛顿特区地区的杜勒斯机场以自己的名字命名，作为一项资金协议的条件。
总统还提出了一个连接林肯纪念堂后方和波托马克河的滨海步道项目，称盟友们希望将其命名为“特朗普滨海步道”。
“他们想称之为特朗普滨海步道，但我不知道我是否想这么做，但它会很漂亮的，”他当时说道。

Workers begin removing Donald Trump’s name from the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. following a federal appeals court ruling. The court denied a last-minute appeal to keep Trump’s name on the building, which had been added after a unanimous board vote in December.

Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., said on Sunday that living public officials should not have buildings named after them and proposed a rule to prohibit such renaming efforts.
This comes as President Donald Trump continues to push to rename the Kennedy Center after himself. The president has also sought to rename other prominent federal buildings in Washington, D.C., after himself since returning to the White House last year.
Kennedy said public officials, including Trump, should not “spend public money on private ads for themselves.”
“The White House sees it differently, but … you can’t spend public money to … promote yourself,” Kennedy told host Margaret Brennan during an appearance on CBS News’ “Face the Nation.”

Kennedy’s comments came as a new ad promoting Trump appeared on multiple networks, that was funded by the federal government.
The senator then suggested public officials should be barred from having a building named after them while they are still alive.
“I may end up with a sombrero on my head, but I also think we ought to have a rule that no politician can have a building named after him when he’s alive,” he said, referring to Trump mocking Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., last year by sharing AI videos of the lawmakers wearing sombreros.
FEDERAL JUDGE ORDERS TRUMP’S NAME REMOVED FROM KENNEDY CENTER, SAYS ONLY CONGRESS CAN RENAME IT

Trump has attempted to rename multiple buildings after himself since returning to the Oval Office, including the Kennedy Center, although federal judges blocked multiple attempts by the center’s board — handpicked by Trump — to add the president’s name to the building.
Trump’s name was briefly added to the building’s facade but was ordered removed after courts ruled that only Congress holds the authority to change the center’s name.
The State Department also added Trump’s name last year to the U.S. Institute of Peace, but former institute officials removed by the Trump administration filed a court motion earlier this month to block construction crews from putting the president’s name onto the outside of the building.

Trump also suggested he wanted New York’s Penn Station and the D.C. area’s Dulles Airport named after him as a condition for a funding deal earlier this year.
The president has additionally floated a project to construct a promenade connecting the back of the Lincoln Memorial to the Potomac River, saying that allies wanted to call it the “Trump Promenade.”
“They want to call it the Trump Promenade, but I don’t know if I want to do that, but it’s going to be beautiful,” he said at the time.
