# Plain Language Summary of H.R. 5389

## What This Bill Does

This bill proposes to convert an executive order (Executive Order 14347) into federal law. Specifically, it would codify an executive order that restores the United States Department of War. The bill is very brief and essentially states that whatever Executive Order 14347 says about restoring the Department of War should now have the force of law—meaning it would become permanent legislation rather than remaining just an executive order.

## Important Context

**Note:** The bill text provided does not include the actual details of Executive Order 14347, so the specific changes being proposed are not visible in this document. To understand what would actually change, you would need to review the full text of Executive Order 14347 (referenced as appearing in the Federal Register at 90 Fed. Reg. 17508).

## Who Would Be Affected

- **Department of Defense and military personnel** – Any restructuring of defense department organization
- **Congress** – Would gain permanent legislative authority over these changes (rather than the President acting alone through executive order)
- **Federal budget and operations** – Depending on what the executive order contains, there could be impacts on military structure, personnel, or operations

## Key Limitation

This bill is essentially a placeholder that references another document. Without seeing Executive Order 14347 itself, the specific policy changes cannot be analyzed.
