Supreme court ruling may widen presidential powers abroad
The court upheld the Bolivia Paraguay arms embargo in 1934 and limited congressional constraints on presidential foreign power. It suggests less blocking of executive actions in foreign affairs, potentially expanding presidential discretion under the neutrality act and prompting a new drive in Congress. A Buenos Aires accord and Hull's diplomacy are noted, with questions about future world leadership steps and wartime embargo authority.
