A federal appeals court has halted President Trump's White House ballroom project. The court ruled that major renovations require congressional approval, not presidential decree.

The Supreme Court may now decide the future of this significant White House alteration.

The ruling is on hold for 14 days to allow the Trump administration to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
