WAR POWERS ACT OF 1941
HOW WE STILL USE IT TODAY
AN AMERICAN EMERGENCY LAW THAT INCREASED
FEDERAL POWER DURING WWII
THIS ACT WAS SIGNED BY FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT
AND PUT INTO LAW ON DECEMBER 18, 1941
THIS ACT GAVE THE PRESIDENT LARGE AUTHORITY TO
EXECUTE WWII IN AN EFFICIENT MANNER
THE PRESIDENT WAS AUTHORIZED TO REORGANIZE THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH, INDEPENDENT
GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, AND GOVERNMENT CORPORATIONS
THE ACT AND ALL CHANGES CREATED BY ITS POWER WERE TO REMAIN INTACT
FOR SIX MONTHS UNTIL THE WAR WAS OVER, THEN BECOME DEFUNCT
WE STILL USE THIS NOW-A-DAY IT'S JUST
CALLED MARTIAL LAW WHEN WAR IS OUT OF HAND
