House adds DoD name change to NDAA
About this episode
The episode discusses Congress's move to change the Department of Defense's name to the Department of War through an amendment in the NDAA.
Congress is one step closer to adopting a tougher name for the Department of Defense. An amendment added to the annual defense policy bill that passed the House would formally change its title to the Department of War. The name change echoes an executive order President Donald Trump signed in September. Only Congress has the authority to legally rename a federal department. Both chambers of Congress must approve the new name for it to take effect.
