Kennedy calls for ban on naming buildings after living politicians

Sen. John Kennedy said Sunday that public buildings should not be named after living politicians, as President Donald Trump continues efforts to attach his name to federal landmarks in Washington, D.C. Speaking on CBS News' "Face the Nation," the Louisiana Republican argued that officials should not use public money to promote themselves. He said he would support a rule preventing any politician from receiving that kind of recognition while still alive. The comments come after Trump sought to rename the Kennedy Center after himself and pushed other naming proposals, including Penn Station and Dulles Airport. Federal judges have blocked some of those efforts, ruling that Congress holds the authority to change the Kennedy Center's name.
