The Senate??

Any law changing the name of the Defense Department would have to be passed by both Houses of Congress and signed by the President (or by 2/3 of both Houses overriding a Presidential veto). The Senate has no such authority on its own.

Right! I meant to write ‘Congress’, but mistakenly wrote Senate.
