Washington, D.C., Feb. 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A video presentation by former CIA, Pentagon, and White House advisor Jim Rickards identifies May 15 as a critical point in the federal calendar as the United States approaches its 250th anniversary, suggesting that long-standing plans are reaching a point of execution.
In the presentation, Rickards explains that provisions within Public Law 63-43, a statute enacted more than a century ago, establish when specific executive authorities can be exercised. According to Rickards, the expiration of a key federal term on May 15 places this date at the center of ongoing government coordination.
The video presentation is available online for public viewing.
A Date That Defines the Sequence
Rickards explains that May 15 functions as a structural marker within the federal system rather than a symbolic moment. In the presentation, he walks viewers through how executive actions, agency timelines, and interdepartmental coordination appear designed to converge around this date.
He notes that such alignment typically occurs only when multiple long-range initiatives are nearing completion.
Law and Authority Align
The presentation examines how Public Law 63-43 continues to shape executive authority through timing provisions embedded in its text. Rickards explains that Section 10 of the law defines when leadership transitions activate certain powers, creating a narrow window for action that rarely draws public attention.
According to the video, this legal framework has been in place for generations and is now intersecting with a major national milestone.
Federal Operations Accelerate
Rickards describes a noticeable acceleration in federal operations across several strategic sectors. In the presentation, he explains how approvals tied to infrastructure, energy, and materials have moved from extended review cycles into compressed execution phases.
This shift, he notes, reflects a broader institutional posture focused on delivery rather than deliberation.
Systems That Support National Capacity Take Priority
The video highlights the increasing focus on energy, materials, and industrial systems that underpin modern economic activity. Rickards explains that rising demand from data infrastructure and advanced technologies has made long-term capacity planning unavoidable.
He points to federal actions supporting nuclear energy development and domestic resource production as part of this shift.
A Deadline with Long-Term Impact
In the final section of the presentation, Rickards frames May 15 as a deadline that will shape federal direction well beyond the anniversary year. He explains that when legal authority, administrative readiness, and national priorities converge, the resulting decisions often influence institutions for decades.
The presentation concludes by emphasizing that the 250th anniversary is unfolding alongside a moment of federal execution rather than mere celebration.
The video presentation is available for public viewing online.
