    John Adam’s saying “piddle, twiddle, and resolve, not one damn thing do they solve” from the movie 1776, talking about congress.

    Maybe they could do it or maybe they couldn’t, but the infighting about it would be insane. You’d have representatives talking about how it’s a waste of taxpayer money, others would say it is healing, if a republican president got elected next, they might just build it again.

    Instead of the first person in office just deleting these 4 years physically, I’d much rather see them spend their energy to address reforms that would keep another bad actor like Trump from getting elected again.

    Then, once we’ve closed the loopholes, money faucets, and propaganda machines, another well reasoned president down the line can work on the demolition project.

      The people doing the demo and reconstruction of the White Hiuse, are different people than who would be fixing the executive legal landscape. Both can be done at the same time.

        It’s not about resources, it’s about the resistance from the opposition. I think if they try to do everything at once, they’ll find a war on all sides from the republicans, but if they can focus their energy, they might stand a chance of getting something done.

          There is no resistance to doing renovations to the White House. Rump as shown that POTUS only needs to speak it, and it shall be done.
