"Prior to changing its name to the Trump-Kennedy Center, its board reportedly adopted bylaws limiting voting to members appointed only by Donald Trump."
"According to The Washington Post, the new bylaws were instituted in May, and specifically noted that members designated by Congress, known as ex officio members, could not vote or count toward a quorum."
"The bylaws were revised to reflect this longstanding precedent and everyone received the technical changes both before the meeting and after revisions. Some members (including ex officio) attended in person, others by phone, and no concerns were voiced, no one objected, and the bylaws passed unanimously."
The Kennedy Center board implemented new bylaws in May that limited voting to members appointed by the president and excluded congressional ex officio members from voting or counting toward a quorum. Months after the bylaw change, the presidentially appointed board members unanimously voted to rename the venue as "The Donald J. Trump and The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts." The Kennedy Center vice president of public relations said the revisions reflected longstanding precedent and that members received the changes and raised no objections. Legal experts described the statute as vague and suggested the board may have exceeded its authority, likely prompting litigation.
