The White House just announced some updates on today's schedule, giving the day an additional bipartisan flair.

President Obama will announce his choice to be Secretary of the Army. A White House spokesperson confirms that it will be Rep. John McHugh, one of three remaining Republican Congressmen from New York. McHugh is currently the ranking member of the House Armed Services Committee

First elected in 1992, McHugh now represents the 23rd Congressional District, covering much of Northern New York. The district leans slightly Republican, meaning Democrats could potentially pick up another seat in a special election.

Also, the White House has announced that former first lady Nancy Reagan will join Obama as he signs the Ronald Reagan Centennial Commission Act.
