I think after President Biden pardoned his extended family as he was leaving office literally "everything" is on the table.
Link to The Washington Post. An incredibly long story that took forever to answer the question.
Apparently Trump is in the process of "firing" most sitting members of the board.
The Kennedy Center said in a statement on Friday evening that it had not received any communication from the White House regarding the changes to its board and acknowledged that some board members had received termination notices.
“Per the Center’s governance established by Congress in 1958, the chair of the board of trustees is appointed by the center’s board members,” the statement said. “There is nothing in the center’s statute that would prevent a new administration from replacing board members; however, this would be the first time such action has been taken with the Kennedy Center’s board.”
During his first term, Mr. Trump broke with tradition by declining to attend the Kennedy Center Honors, the group’s hallmark program, after some honorees criticized him.
Mr. Trump’s plan to remake the board would break with years of precedent at the Kennedy Center, which has long prided itself on a tradition of bipartisanship. It was the latest example of his efforts to upend norms in Washington in the first 100 days of his second term.
After our experience with Bill Clinton, we need to define what it means to say that the organization "has long prided itself on a tradition of bipartisanship."
