Relatives of John F. Kennedy criticized the recent renaming of the Kennedy Center to include Donald Trump’s name, arguing it violates a law that designates the center as a memorial to Kennedy. The center’s board, appointed by Trump, made this controversial decision, marking the first time a national institution has been named after a sitting president. Family members, including Kerry Kennedy, vowed to remove Trump’s name after his term ends, asserting that only Congress can change the name. This unprecedented move has drawn backlash from historians and lawmakers, emphasizing the legal stipulations against such alterations.
