The remora of JPP
On September 5, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order authorizing "Department of War" and "Secretary of War" as secondary titles to the main titles Department of Defense and Secretary of Defense. The terms must be accommodated by federal agencies and are permitted in executive branch communications, ceremonial settings, and non-statutory documents. However, only an act of Congress can legally and formally change the department's name and secretary's title, so "Department of Defense" and "Secretary of Defense" remain the sole official titles
