On November 5, 2026, President Donald Trump signed a proclamation declaring the Oval Office and the Cabinet Room in the White House as a National Monument. The move aims to preserve these rooms from future alterations without Congressional approval, despite Republican losses in the recent midterm elections. Since returning to office, Trump has extensively redecorated the Oval Office with gold accents and statuettes. Critics argue that this action disregards voter concerns over more pressing issues. However, the proclamation allows for ordinary operational modifications by future presidents, including potential redecoration.
