Did you read the ruling? Or are you just spouting bullshit because you are in a cult?

Yes. The lowly district court judge ruled that construction was to stop until approved by Congress. The construction has nothing to do with Congress since it's privately funded. Congress has no control over the executive branch. The lowly judge was smacked down by the appellate court who made a ruling against his. The lowly district court judge then found a convoluted loophole in the ruling and ruled that the national security bunker part of the construction could continue but not the ballroom part above ground because that required Congressional approval--the very thing that was smacked down.
In short, you have a nobody, lowly, district court judge that hates Trump ruling against him on the basis of politics and is interfering in matters that are the purview of the executive branch alone. The judge fully knows that win or lose, he's tossing sand into the gears of progress so-to-speak. This is a delaying action by the judge based on politics. The judge also knows there'll be no personal repercussions for his actions so he's free to take them without consequences.
The construction has everything to do with Congress since Congress controls what can be built on federal land. If we follow your stupid argument then the next President could tear down the Supreme Court building and not build a new one. The next President could build a personal home in every national park using donated money. Your position is idiotic.
Then you completely get wrong the appeals court rulings. Maybe one day you will no longer be in a cult and will be able to face reality.
In short, you are completely ignorant of what the actual rulings were.

That is not the issue.
The issue is the POTUS is not the owner of the WH and is closer to a guest. It's the people's house making Congress more the owners representative. And Congress very deliberately put in restrictions as to what a POTUS can and cannot do to the House.
Trump has a stacked board and controlled both houses of Congress so he could have easily followed the process required for major renovations.
Because he did not the Courts as check and balance have to step in and anyone saying otherwise is demented with TDS.
Wow. You really are that stupid. Most state dinners are held in the White House. Larger gatherings that are not foreign guests were sometimes held in tents.Why do leftidiots want this for our nation's guests?

The big issue here is Trump's WH admin has adopted his method of lies and fraudulent filings where you file documents saying one thing when you are looking for one outcome and then in your next filing you say the exact opposite because you are looking for a different outcome.
Here we have Trump admin filings specifically saying that the above ground and below ground structures are completely independent and the below ground, with is security issues can be done stand alone. But in a later filing when the above ground was facing legal challenges the same Trump admin filed the two structures have to be completed together or the security aspects are at risk.
When Courts are faced with the fact that the two filings represent a fraud and lie in at least one instance no one should expect anything other than the courts slow things down for a more thorough examination.

Absolutely false! The White House and grounds are part of the Executive Branch. If Congress controlled the land and building (the White House) they could simply tear it down and kick the President out on the street if they wanted to. A President cannot tear down the Supreme Court building for the same reason: Separate and co-equal branch of government.
National parks were created under laws passed by Congress. Therefore, their administration is done by the executive branch while funding is provided by Congress. Co-equal branches each doing their part of governance.
Incorrect. The court ruled above ground work cannot move forward without approval by Congress. The President is constrained by federal law from doing what he feels like, the WH being "an Historic Site" under "The National Historic Preservation Act of 1966".

Why does this need Congress' approval. Past changes / improvements to the White House, big and small didn't need that.

The White House has long been a work in progress.
This is about hating on Trump and nothing else.
Might be about loving The White House.

No money or political advantage in that!
True, only patriotism.
It seems you don't understand how laws are passed in the US. Take a civic class.
DC was created by an act of Congress. You seem to think that the President is exempt from all laws passed by Congress. He isn't. He takes an oath to faithfully execute those laws not ignore them whenever he wants to.
That my friend is the ultimate question.Why do leftidiots want this for our nation's guests?
The answer is simple.
It's because a man named Trump decided to add some class to the WH.

Then riddle me this: Why in the past have Presidents been free to modify the White House without congressional interference? Some have even made major alterations like Trump is doing and Congress never interfered? What changed that now requires Congressional intervention where it was never required before?
The obvious answer is TDS.
When did a President tear down one wing of the Whitehouse without Congressional approval?

Teddy Roosevelt built one wing of the White House without Congressional approval.
FDR added a bunker under it along with major mods to the East Wing without Congressional approval.
Truman virtually gutted the interior to update the building without Congressional oversight.
