In a statement to the national press, non-interventionist Republican senator Gerald P. Nye, of the Federal enclave of North Dakota, denounces the “Lend-Lease” proposal of Democratic (socialist/fascist) de facto President Franklin Roosevelt, Esq., calling the move “an outright declaration of war. It’s a belligerent act and will weaken our defenses. If Britain should be defeated, why should we supply her with destroyers to surrender the Germany?”
NOTE: As an attorney (Officer of the Court) Roosevelt was ineligible to serve in two branches of government at the same time, according to Article I, Section 6 [Clause 2]
