Kennedy Center renaming seems not permitted by law

 Independent, UK -  Three former Kennedy Center board members told NBC News that the legislation that established the center prohibits any of the facilities from being renamed, apart from the Eisenhower Theater, which was named after President Dwight Eisenhower after his administration approved its construction in 1958. But the project was delayed and later revived during the administration of President John F. Kennedy. It was named after Kennedy following his assassination.

“After December 2, 1983, no additional memorials or plaques in the nature of memorials shall be designated or installed in the public areas of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts,” the U.S. code states.
