Identify and describe the significance of the Youngstown Sheet & Tube Company v. Sawyer case.

What will be an ideal response?


Answers should identify the Youngstown case as the Supreme Court’s rejection of President Truman’s seizure of U.S. steel mills in order to prevent a national strike. Although Truman claimed national security grounds because of the Korean War, the Supreme Court ruled that such an extreme action in domestic affairs required congressional approval. This case was significant because it restricted presidential power to conduct domestic affairs through appeals to foreign affairs.
