Source summary
The President signed S. 1071, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026, which funds the Department of War, Department of Energy national security programs, Department of State, Department of Homeland Security, the Intelligence Community, and other agencies. The Act includes measures such as the SAFER SKIES Act, support for the Golden Dome for America plan, and Federal recognition of the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina, while the Administration raised constitutional concerns about multiple provisions that it says purport to limit the President’s authorities over military, foreign affairs, information disclosure, personnel, and budgeting. The Administration says it will implement and interpret those provisions consistent with the President’s constitutional powers as Commander in Chief and chief foreign-affairs officer.
