The president has appeared focused on projects including renovating the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, updating the White House ballroom and a proposed 250-foot triumphal arch.

Recent surveys show trouble for the administration: a New York Times/Siena poll put approval at 38%, the lowest of his second term, and a Gallup finding reported only 16% rate the economy as "excellent" or "good."

Wiles reportedly convened a secret April 20 meeting with GOP figures to intensify preparations ahead of a tough midterm cycle.
