Strike On as Court Kills Steel Grab
The Supreme Court, led by Justice Hugo L. Black, ruled against President Truman’s seizure of steel mills, saying no statute or constitutional provision expressly authorizes such action and that the President cannot be a lawmaker. Dissenters Vinson, Reed, and Minton argued history supported seizure in a crisis. The decision emphasized Congress, not the presidency, must authorize asset seizures.
