Workers finished removing Donald Trump's name from the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts after a federal judge ruled the renaming was unlawful.Judge Christopher Cooper ordered the restoration of the original name because only Congress possesses the authority to rename the institution.The board failed in last-minute legal attempts to stop the removal as the court also blocked a plan to close the venue for two years.This ruling represents a rare limit on the broader executive efforts to reshape the physical landscape of the capital city through controversial development projects.
