Says who?The authority isn't the President's.
The court intervenes when the law isn't followed.
Perhaps he can just make up another emergency.
It's in the sourced document, dipshit.Says who?
Post the law or STFU.
23. GSA has statutory authority pursuant to 40 U.S.C. § 3305 to paint the exterior of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building if the exterior were to be painted.
This authorityincludes any power washing/cleaning and/or repointing of the exterior.4. GSA will not authorize or engage in the physical actions of power washing/cleaning,painting, or repointing the Eisenhower Executive Office Building before December 31,2025. Nor would GSA delegate its authority pursuant to 40 U.S.C. § 121(d), orauthorize any use of its gift authority pursuant to 40 U.S.C. § 3175, to perform any suchactions before December 31, 2025.5. This certification is signed under the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 1746.

Yes, the law lays out the procedure and process for actions taken in altering of a building.You know the GSA is a department within the administration, yes? And that the document is an agreement between the admin and the courts, yes?
Read the statute. It's not ambiguous.Ahh, cleaning and refreshing the exterior is now an "alteration." Try arguing that one with your HOA.
Worthless fucking judge.

Did you read the court filing?I wonder if anyone has bothered to really understand how stupid that ruling is? There is NO WAY that building could be pressure washed, let alone painted, between now and Dec. 31.

If they started today I'd make a wager with you.It could be done. It'd be expensive and would completely shut down the building and surrounding area for a week, but it could be done.

All laws and bickering aside…
My question is; why would Judge Karen care about a building getting a bath?

What 'regulations' enacted by who?There are regulations about what can be done to the historic buildings in DC (except when tearing things down to build a palace ballroom, apparently). And it’s about more than “a bath”.![]()

Regulations for historic federal buildings in Washington, D.C. are
a combination of federal and local laws. The National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) of 1966provides the overarching framework, establishing requirements for federal agencies and creating the National Register of Historic Places. Locally, the D.C. Historic Landmark and Historic District Protection Act of 1978 protects historic sites within the District, which includes many federal buildings. Additionally, the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties (36 CFR Part 68) guide specific treatment methods like preservation, rehabilitation, restoration, and reconstruction.
Federal regulations
- National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA): This is the primary federal law for historic preservation. It requires federal agencies to consider the impact of their undertakings on historic properties and established the National Register of Historic Places.
- Secretary of the Interior's Standards: These are the guidelines for any work done on a historic property, whether it's preservation, rehabilitation, restoration, or reconstruction. They provide a standard set of principles to ensure the property's historic integrity is maintained.
Local regulations
- D.C. Historic Landmark and Historic District Protection Act: This local law protects historic landmarks and structures that are part of historic districts listed on the D.C. Inventory of Historic Sites. Many federal buildings fall under this protection.
- D.C. Historic Preservation Plan: The D.C. Office of Planning develops this plan to guide preservation efforts within the District, encompassing both government and community activities.
Key aspects of the regulations
- Preservation of historic integrity: The laws and standards aim to protect the historic character and integrity of federal buildings from damage or inappropriate alterations.
- Federal and local oversight: Both federal and local government entities are involved in the regulation and approval process for work on historic federal buildings in Washington, D.C.
- Comprehensive framework: Federal and local legislation work together to create a comprehensive regulatory framework that addresses both the historical and architectural significance of these buildings.
You're wondering about statutes that are created by Congress?I too wonder about this. I also wonder if the nightly cleaning crew knows about these regulations.
None of which apply here, NONE.Here’s a summary offered by AI, but if you’re genuinely interested (doubtful), Google is your friend.![]()
