De facto Commander-in-Chief Franklin Roosevelt, Esq., issues Executive Order 8734, creating the Office of Price Administration with full authority to establish prices, production priorities and withhold raw materials from companies that refuse to co-operate. Over 8,000 municipal regulatory boards are established across the nation regulating a myriad of different consumer goods from automobiles and tires, gasoline and fuel oil, to sugar … and processed foods.
NOTES:
- This was a war measure issued eight months before the attack on Pearl Harbor.
- 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]
