Department of What?
Department of What?
Limited to what?
Well, umm, war.
I mean it’s really the only one that can actually do them.
Though I guess I should brush up on American history, maybe it was the department of the interior that was killing all the natives.
interesting, had to look it up and you are half correct.
it still is officially the DoD, although there was an executive order stating it can legally be referenced as the DoW too
Sec. 2. Implementation. (a) The Secretary of Defense is authorized the use of this additional secondary title — the Secretary of War — and may be recognized by that title in official correspondence, public communications, ceremonial contexts, and non-statutory documents within the executive branch.
half right again, lmao
The President can issue rules, regulations, and instructions (called executive orders), which have the binding force of law upon federal agencies but do not require approval of the United States Congress. Executive orders are subject to judicial review and interpretation.

And now, suddenly, they find out why it was named the Department of Defense and not the Department of War in the first place.
For PR and propaganda purposes. And now they just realized they made their PR and propaganda more difficult because of Dear Leader’s idiot idea to rename the department.
