@bakersfield.50501: Lethality, not tepid legality. Department of war and not department of defense. This is supposed to be Mr. No-Wars President. He lied again. Also, it's Congress's job to rename departments they fund such as this. The primary example is the 1949 National Security Act amendment, where Congress officially changed the name of the Department of War to the Department of Defense. The framers never thought Congress would roll over and let the executive office take over its responsibilities.
