codified

It wasn’t until 1941, however, that the holiday’s date was codified in law, when Franklin Roosevelt signed a joint resolution of Congress mandating its celebration on the fourth Thursday of November.

That commitment is codified in a still-operative state document from 1982 known as Document 19, officially titled “The Basic Viewpoint and Policy on the Religious Question during Our Country’s Socialist Period.”

The U.S. has a longstanding policy, which is codified in congressional legislation, to maintain Israel’s “qualitative military edge” in the Middle East.

The IEA also has a “stated policies” scenario to see how oil and gas demand would play out if countries lived up to their policies even if they are not yet codified in law.

Ghosting is uncanny not only because it deprives us of certain codified social rituals for disentangling our relationships.
