War Powers: The Supreme Court Weighs In The Prize Cases (1862) Korematsu v. United States (1944) Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer (1951) Hamdan v. Rumsfeld (2005)

The Prize Cases (1862) Key Issue: Did President Lincoln act within his presidential powers when he blockaded southern ports without a declaration of war? Court’s Decision: The President had the power to act because a state of war existed. Discussion Question: Does this case expand or limit the war powers of the President and/or Congress?

Korematsu v. U.S. (1944) Key Issue: Did the Present, with the support of Congress, have the power to restrict the rights of Japanese Americans by relocating them to internment camps? Court’s Decision: The government’s limitation of rights was justified during a time of “emergency and peril.” Discussion Question: Does this case expand or limit the war powers of the President and/or Congress?

Youngstown Sheet Co. v. Sawyer (1951) Key Issue: Did President Truman have the power to seize & operate steel mills to avert a strike during the Korean War? Court’s Decision: The President did not have the authority to seize private property without a congressional statute. Discussion Question: Does this case expand or limit the war powers of the President and/or Congress?

Hamdan v. Rumsfeld (2005) Key Issues: 1) Were the military commissions set up by the Bush administration to try detainees at Guantanamo Bay constitutional? 2) Can Congress pass legislation preventing the Supreme Court from hearing the case? Court’s Decision: Neither an act of Congress nor the inherent powers of the President authorize military commissions that do not comply with US and international laws. Discussion Question: Does this case expand or limit the war powers of the President and/or Congress?
