Block President Trump's proposed Triumphal Arch by supporting legislation to prohibit its construction and permanently bar federal funds from being used for it.

I am fighting this abuse of taxpayer dollars with Congressman Beyer by introducing legislation that would clearly prohibit President Trump from using federal funds for pet projects like this one.

Titus committed to fighting the proposed Triumphal Arch by introducing legislation that would prohibit use of federal funds for the project; the bill would also prohibit construction of such an arch.

Titus's House office announced that Reps. Dina Titus and Don Beyer introduced the Arlington National Cemetery Viewshed Protection Act to prohibit Trump's proposed arch and bar federal funds for it.

Titus took the promised legislative step during the lookback window, but the release describes introduction of a bill, not enactment or an actual block on the project.

The bill text prohibits construction of a triumphal arch within Lady Bird Johnson Park and says no federal funds may be made available for such construction.

The posted bill text matches the commitment's mechanism: it would prohibit the arch at the proposed Columbia Island/Lady Bird Johnson Park site and permanently bar federal funding there.

NCPC's staff report says Interior submitted concept plans for a 250-foot arch at Memorial Circle; remaining actions include preliminary and final site/building plan reviews.

Federal review of the arch was still active as of the June 4, 2026 NCPC meeting materials, so the project had not been blocked by Titus's legislation by that point.

The NCPC report states the Commission of Fine Arts approved the final architectural design on May 21, 2026, while NCPC would not take final action until NHPA and NEPA processes are completed.

The arch advanced through one federal design-review body, but still faced unresolved federal planning, environmental, and historic-preservation reviews. This supports unresolved rather than delivered.

NCPC's June 4 agenda lists the New Monumental Arch as an action item submitted by Interior, with the requested action being approval of comments on concept plans.

The latest official agenda shows the project remained before NCPC for review during the lookback window, not stopped or defunded by enacted legislation.

AP reported that workers began preliminary surveys and geotechnical testing at the proposed arch site, based partly on a court filing in the pending challenge.

Site-preparation studies during the lookback window are a concrete sign the proposal was still moving forward and had not yet been blocked.
