Quote:Only Congress can change department names, so the title is ceremonial until it is codified into law. Mr. Trump had ordered the federal government to recognize it as a “secondary” name, in addition to having “secretary of war” serve as a “secondary title” to secretary of defense.
Mr. Trump’s order directs the federal government to recognize the new name and title in “official correspondence, public communications, ceremonial contexts and nonstatutory documents within the executive branch.”
President of Peace, Department of War. A New Name Sends Mixed Signals.
