House Republicans are trying to rename the Kennedy Center’s Opera House after first lady Melania Trump, the latest in a string of congressional measures meant to honor the president and his family.
The proposal was tucked into a funding bill for the Department of the Interior as an amendment that cleared the House Appropriations Committee by a 33-25 vote Tuesday.
After nearly five hours of debate, the committee moved its full funding proposal to the House floor by a vote of 33-28.
