The DORIE Act of 2026 aims to prevent the naming of Department of Defense (DoD) assets—such as facilities, aircraft, vessels, or other property—after Presidents who are currently holding office. Under this law, no DoD asset can be named, renamed, designated, or redesignated in honor of a sitting President. Additionally, the bill prohibits the use of any DoD funds for such naming activities while a President is in office. If any DoD asset is already named after the sitting President at the time this law takes effect, the asset must be returned to its previous name immediately. This legislation is intended to maintain ethical standards and avoid potential conflicts of interest or perceptions of self-promotion by sitting Presidents. By enforcing this rule, the bill seeks to uphold the integrity of how military assets are named and ensure that such honors are reserved for individuals after their terms have ended or for other appropriate reasons. The practical effect is that DoD naming decisions will be delayed until after a President leaves office, potentially reducing politicization of military asset names.
