The National Capital Planning Commission gave President Trump the green light Thursday to break ground on a massive memorial arch just outside Washington, DC.   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.
