Debate Over President Powers on TVA Directors
The article discusses whether President Roosevelt possessed authority to remove TVA directors. Senate legal experts largely believe he did have the power, while Norris doubts it. Efforts to compromise Senate resolutions by Norris and others for an FTC inquiry or a Senate investigation stalled, with a looming fear of a presidential move to appoint an independent board to probe the efforts. The piece recalls Roosevelt's past use of reorganizations and threats to act similarly again.
