No Palaces Act

This bill requires federal agencies to obtain approval from the National Capital Planning Commission before making any changes to the White House or its grounds. Congress would then have a 60-day window to block a project via a joint resolution, effectively giving lawmakers a veto power over White House renovations. It also prohibits using private funds for such projects without congressional authorization and allows lawsuits to challenge violations, with courts required to expedite cases. The bill directly affects White House renovation projects and shifts oversight authority to Congress and federal planning bodies.
