What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Department of War Restoration Act of 2025," proposes a name change for a major government agency. It seeks to redesignate the Department of Defense as the Department of War. Consequently, the head of this department would be renamed the Secretary of War. The Act also mandates that any existing legal or official references to the Department of Defense or the Secretary of Defense be updated to reflect these new titles.
