Congress saw fit to build it after that nutcase stormed Capitol Hill and gunned-down a policeman while trying to get into the congressional offices. It was originally meant as a “non-visible” underground security “enhancement,” but of course, the Congress critters gold-plated it more and more each year until they finally got themselves a virtual underground museum celebrating themselves.
