*sigh* My representative, sadly, is Nancy Mace.

Thank you.

Seriously. I'm just a guy who works from home who took literally 10 seconds to Google search "Department of War is not the official name." Check the 6th entry down. It's literally Encyclopedia Brittanica. (Yeah, that's apparently still a thing; who knew? Definitely not the "jounalists" at Newsmax.)

Good. He's a phony Democrat only. Ran with Progressive plumage, even garnering support from Bernie Sanders. The stroke either glitched his brain, or he was playing everyone during the campaign. He sucks. He'll lose.

It would cast a shred of credibility on your organization to acknowledge that Dear Leader Trump cannot just DO whatever he wants. ;-)

In apparent recognition of that fact, the order eventually signed by Trump presents the new name as a “secondary title” of the department, though it also requires other federal departments and agencies to use the new name in official correspondence and nonstatutory documents.

Because the Constitution gives Congress the power to create executive departments and agencies, and because the Department of Defense was so named under Congressional legislation, President Donald Trump cannot legally reinstate the department’s official name under an executive order.

An amendment to the Act in 1949 changed the name of the National Military Establishment to the Department of Defense.

The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica Nov. 14, 2025, write:

In 1947 the U.S. Congress passed the National Security Act, which reorganized and renamed the Department of War, established in 1789, as the National Military Establishment.

*correction: it's still technically the Department of Defense, despite what Private Bonespurs told everyone.

Here we go, try to keep up:
