In an 8-4 vote, the commission approved plans to build the 250-foot-high arch just across the Potomac River from the Lincoln Memorial, on a traffic circle between Arlington National Cemetery and Arlington Memorial Bridge.

The Trump administration had indicated it wanted to start construction on the arch project immediately after approval.

More than 100 witnesses testified in opposition to the project during the nine-and-a-half-hour-long meeting ahead of the vote.

Critics of the project contend the arch, which resembles France’s historic Arc de Triomphe, will obstruct the view between the site where the nation’s soldiers are laid to rest and the Lincoln Memorial.

soldiers → contend → rest
Many argued the Trump administration should have sought congressional approval for the project.

Rep. Jared Huffman (D-Calif.) similarly argued that the project is ill-advised and illegal.
asserted
project → argue → ?
“This arch would dishonor America,” Huffman told the panel, calling the proposed arch “a tribute to Donald Trump,” not veterans.
asserted
Huffman → dishonor → Trump
Mark Paoletta, the Trump-appointed chairman of the commission, lauded the president’s effort to build the arch.

Paoletta → appoint → arch
“President Trump understands as president and a superb builder that it’s important to our national identity to display who we are through grand monuments,” he said.

In September, Trump teased that the arch would also be used to “house, store, and have the rapid ability to use large numbers of drones, plus Snipers, on both the roof and plaza areas.”
asserted
arch → tease → areas
He also said that the arch will hold “large quantities of sniper ammunition in storage.”
asserted
arch → say → storage
“There will be no facility like this anywhere in the world,” Trump added.
asserted
Trump → add → world
The arch is one of several projects around the nation’s capital that Trump has undertaken in his second term as part of an effort to “beautify DC” in recognition of the 250th anniversary of the US.

Trump → undertake → US
