TRUMP”Is there anything else that the President of the United States of America could have done that you would approve of? No. Then why should he bother trying to please you?

Winston Spencer Churchill was British, however his mother was born in America, and Churchill himself was the first ever foreign national to be awarded US citizenship on the 9th April 1963, by the President of the United States (JFK), which was ratified by Congress.THE PROCLAMATIONWhereas Sir Winston Churchill. a son of America though a subject of Britain, has been throughout his life a firm and steadfast friend of the American people and the American nation; andWhereas he has freely offered his hand and his faith in days of adversity as well as triumph; andWhereas his bravery, charity and valor, both in war and in peace, have been a flame of inspiration in freedom’s darkest hour; andWhereas his life has shown that no adversary can overcome, and no fear can deter, free men in the defense of their freedom; andWhereas he has expressed with unsurpassed power and splendor the aspirations of peoples everywhere for dignity and freedom; andWhereas he has by his art as an historian and his judgment as a statesman made the past the servant of the future;Now, therefore, I, John F.

The existence in the view of the President, of a national emergency. And an implied but never directly referenced nor directly challenged connection to Article II The executive power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.Secondary but direct reference to a world war I era law 'Trading with the Enemy Act' that gave the president control over the banks in a national emergency. The law's Section 5 subsection b allows the President to block exchanges, and stop hoarding of gold. However, it states this is for time of war. (I suppose if challenged, the President would have made an argument that millions dragging gold out of banks was an emergency akin to war, and throw it to Congress and courts.)He'd have little justification if it wasn't three days before Congress acting. But enough for three days prior to popular consensus, and for a pretty well-understood national emergency, something beyond the normal ups and downs of the market, one in which the affected class (banks) were probably willing to close, it was enough. Here's the proclamation, reference to the 1917 law.Whereas, on March 6, 1933, I, Franklin D. Roosevelt, President of the United States of America, by Proclamation declared the existence of a national emergency and proclaimed a bank holiday extending from Monday the 6th day of March to Thursday the 9th day of March, 1933, both dates inclusive, in order to prevent the export, hoarding or earmarking of gold or silver coin, or bullion or currency, or speculation in foreign exchange; andWhereas, under the Act of March 9, 1933, all Proclamations heretofore or hereafter issued by the President pursuant to the authority conferred by section 5 (b) of the Act of October 6, 1917, as amended, are approved and confirmed; andWhereas, said national emergency still continues, and it is necessary to take further measures extending beyond March 9, 1933, in order to accomplish such purposes:Now, Therefore, I, Franklin D. Roosevelt, President of the United States of America, in view of such continuing national emergency and by virtue of the authority vested in me by Section 5 (b) of the Act of October 6, 1917 (40 Stat. L. 411), as amended by the Act of March 9, 1933, do hereby proclaim, order, direct and declare that all the terms and provisions of said Proclamation of March 6, 1933, and the regulations and orders issued thereunder are hereby continued in full force and effect until further proclamation by the President.In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and have caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.Done in the District of Columbia, this 9th day of March, in the Year of our Lord One Thousand Nine Hundred and Thirty three, and of the Independence of the United States the One Hundredth and Fifty-seventh.
