Response needed to clarify illegal demolition of White House

I am writing as a deeply concerned constituent regarding reports that the White House is currently being demolished. I am completely baffled by how such an action could occur without visible public notice, congressional authorization, or adherence to established historic-preservation procedures. The White House is not private property—it is a federally owned national landmark of immense historical, cultural, and symbolic significance. Under the National Historic Preservation Act, any demolition or substantial alteration to a federally owned historic site must undergo formal review, including public notice and consultation with relevant preservation authorities. The absence of transparency or visible oversight in this case raises serious questions about the legality and propriety of the process. As my elected representative, I respectfully urge you to: 1. Confirm whether demolition or major alteration of the White House is in fact occurring. 2. Clarify which agencies or congressional bodies authorized the action and what oversight has been exercised. 3. Ensure that proper preservation laws and public-notification requirements are being followed. 4. Communicate this information clearly to your constituents and to the American public. If such work is proceeding outside the proper legal framework, it would represent a profound breach of public trust and of the safeguards meant to protect our nation’s heritage. Even if the reports are inaccurate or exaggerated, the uncertainty itself calls for an immediate and transparent statement from Congress and the relevant agencies. The White House stands as one of the most important symbols of our democracy and continuity as a nation. It deserves the highest level of respect, oversight, and transparency. I urge you to act swiftly to clarify the situation and, if necessary, intervene to ensure full compliance with federal law and historic-preservation standards. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your response and to reassurance that our government remains committed to lawful stewardship of our most important public buildings.
