Ah...................music to my ears! Why is it that "we the people" can't see or don't care that he is a communist? I hate the fact that a war hero and a patriot lost to him. I was flabbergasted when I heard the poll results that fateful day.

I am pretty sure that FDR was the first President to violate the War Powers Act.  I Remember that Eisenhower was always taking Golf Vacations. Kennedy illegally authorized the Bay of Pigs operation.   Kennedy and LBJ authorized illegal military and paramilitary operations in South East Asia.  Nixon got the blame when he illegally carried some of these operations to conclusion.

There ware illegal operations in Iran, Ethiopia, Congo, Guatemala, Panama (when it was Columbia before the War Powers Act existed.)  Several Presidents may allowed or at least tacitly did nothing to stop the transfer of Nuclear material to Israel in the form of the Fernald Ohio MUF.  LBJ authorized the use of small nuclear power generators in Asia.

Nixon Allowed Nuclear munitions to be made ready for immediate shipment to Israel in the Yom Kippur War.

Yes, there are a lot of "Firsts" with this president.  f you listen to Gingrich, he openly advocates the illegal removal of Judges he doesn't like by eliminating their position.

Carter illegally began negotiations to give away the Panama canal a decade earlier than he should have.  Carter's first act as president was to pardon the Draft Dodgers without encumbering their civil rights, or requiring them to serve parole.

Joseph,

FDR was the president who signed the  War Powers Act (first act).

Griff

P.S.
The signing date was Dec. 18, 1941.
The Act gave FDR power to do almost anything.

You are right.  I think FDR violated the "Neutrality Act".
Parent - By 522029 (***) Date 01-22-2012 21:15
You are correct on that.
Of interest though is the fact that FDR also signed the Neutrality Act but later found it got in his way.
