When was the decision made to remove the monument and who made that decision?

Why isn’t the House of Representatives halting the removal of the monument?

Sounds to be a unilateral unlawful decision by the white house. I suppose congress will have to call out their troops and law enforcement people to put a halt to it except they don’t have any. All they can do is try to cut funding. Big whoop.

Passed in Congress in 2021: "Section 370 of the William M. (Mac) Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 (FY21 NDAA)".

The monument not being "destroyed"...it is being moved to the "Virginia Museum of the Civil War" (at "VMI") by Glenn Youngkin (VA governor):
