OMOLIVES, Two options, one, president goes to congress first, does it officially.
Officially changing the name of the Defense Department would require congressional action. Republicans U.S. Sen. Mike Lee of Utah and Rep. Greg Steube of Florida filed legislation calling for such a rebrand in their respective chambers. But the second Trump administration has already proven masterful at work-arounds, loopholes and simply ignoring U.S. law.Wanting this name change, however, communicates a signal of U.S. intentions that will almost certainly push panic buttons among U.S. allies regarding the logic and stability of U.S. leadership and policy, and push adversaries closer together, neither of which will be good for the country. https://rhodeislandcurrent.com/2025/09/08/trumps-war-department-just-say-no/
Doing it the right way wold have officially given voice to where constitutional authority for the change lies. Trump avoided that.
Option two, the route TRexTrump took. Some see it as that he would bother, but it is not. It is one more insidious step in his always evermore King approach. Trump usurps congressional authority, just a fraction at a time. It's erosion of the constitutional three levels of government. Separate but equal. Trump eats away at it every day.
His taking of congress authority is serious, yet he is likely more moving toward his fall from grace. He's said before he is at war. His opponent is American democracy. He'd be willing to destroy it to live his kingship dream.
