A federal appeals court has rejected a request to stop a lower court order that requires the removal of President Donald Trump's name from the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

一家聯邦上訴法院已駁回一項請求，該請求旨在停止先前下級法院要求將唐納德·川普總統姓名從肯尼迪表演藝術中心移除的命令。

The legal conflict began when Representative Joyce Beatty filed a lawsuit. She challenged the Kennedy Center board's decision to add the President's name to the institution in December, which happened after the President appointed himself as board chair. District Judge Christopher Cooper later ruled that the center's official laws state the institution must be named only after President John F. Kennedy. He emphasized that only Congress has the power to change the name, not the board. Additionally, Judge Cooper stopped a plan to close the center for two years of renovations starting on July 4.

這場法律衝突始於眾議員 Joyce Beatty 提起訴訟。她質疑肯尼迪中心董事會於 12 月決定將總統姓名添加到該機構，而當時總統剛任命自己為董事會主席。地區法官 Christopher Cooper 隨後裁定，中心的官方法律規定該機構必須僅以約翰·F·肯尼迪總統命名。他強調，只有國會有權更改名稱，而非董事會。此外，Cooper 法官阻止了一項計劃，該計劃原定於 7 月 4 日開始將中心關閉兩年進行翻修。

Recently, a three-judge panel at the U.S. Court of Appeals reviewed the case. The judges decided that the people appealing the decision failed to prove that removing the name would cause permanent damage. Furthermore, the court noted that because the name had already been removed, a temporary stop to the order would be pointless. The panel also dismissed claims that the center would lose money or struggle to raise funds, stating that the evidence provided by Executive Director Matt Floca was based on opinions rather than specific facts. Finally, the court rejected an argument about a specific fundraising foundation because it was not mentioned during the first trial.

最近，美國上訴法院的一個三法官小組審理了此案。法官決定，上訴人未能證明移除名稱會造成永久性損害。此外，法院指出，由於名稱已經被移除，暫時停止該命令將毫無意義。該小組還駁回了關於中心將損失資金或籌款困難的指稱，並表示執行董事 Matt Floca 提供的證據是基於意見而非具體事實。最後，法院拒絕了一項關於特定籌款基金會的論點，因為在第一次審理中未提及該內容。

As a result, the President's name will not be on the building while the rest of the legal appeal continues.

因此，在法律上訴繼續進行期間，總統的姓名將不會出現在建築物上。
