  "account": "Nine members of the prominent Kennedy family have taken legal action to halt the construction of President Donald Trump's planned triumphal arch in Washington, D.C. The plaintiffs, including Rory Kennedy and Maxwell Kennedy, argue that the arch would obstruct views of their relatives' graves at Arlington National Cemetery, including that of President John F. Kennedy. They maintain that the 250-foot structure, more than twice the size of the Lincoln Memorial, would cast shadows on graves and interfere with the design of Memorial Circle, a site meant to symbolize national unity. The Kennedy family contends that only Congress has the power to authorize such an intrusion into the cemetery. The arch has faced criticism from various groups, including Democratic lawmakers, preservationists, and the public, with the National Capital Planning Commission ultimately approving the project.",
