Is there anything actually stopping Donald Trump from carving his face into Mount Rushmore?

Trump would likely need congressional approval to make any alterations to Mount Rushmore, according to a Northeastern legal scholar.

    We require the headline match the original, please correct it or we’ll have to remove it.

    But the answer is “time”.

    Look at the scale of the original project:

    “Commissioned by Congress in 1925, construction on Mount Rushmore began in the late 1920s under the direction of sculptor Gutzon Borglum. The National Park Service took over the project in 1933. It was completed in 1941.”

    16 years from aporoval to completion. Trump couldn’t even get a wall built before the next President abandoned it.

    Even if he did it, what would prevent it from being removed once he’s out of office?

    The shape of a rock is fairly insignificant compared to some of the things that are happening. Kidnappings? Assassinations?

    Ok but it would be kinda fitting. Each face represents a phase of America: birth, growth, preservation, and development. He’d just represent destruction.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
