On August 18, 2025, President Donald J. Trump mentioned he wished to change the name of the Department of Defense. You can read more about that here: https://www.newsweek.com/trump-hegseth-department-defense-name-change-war-2118837 This market will resolve to “Yes” if Donald Trump signs any federal legislation or performs any executive action that changes the name of the Department of Defense by September 30, 2025, 11:59 PM ET ET.

Any executive action or legislation that renames the Department of Defense will qualify, regardless of if/when the change goes into effect or if the action is delayed, suspended, or subsequently blocked by judicial or other actions. This market’s primary resolution source will be official information from the Trump administration; however, a consensus of credible information from major news outlets or government statements will also be used.
