	UNITED STATES v. MINORU YASUI - District Court, D. Oregon
		Congress, on December 8, 1941, by joint resolution, declared a state of war to be existing between the Imperial Government of Japan and the Government and people of the United States.
		The power of Congress, however, during time of war over aliens of a country which is hostile to the United States is almost plenary, (Footnote 50) as is that of the President by a series of acts dating to the foundation of the Union.
		Since Congress provided for the punishment of persons violating the proclamations of the commanding officers, and since Yasui is an alien who committed a violation of this act, which included by reference the regulations of the commander referring to aliens, the court finds him guilty.

	ThisNation.com--United States v. Lovett
		Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof,' and provide that 'No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law.' Counsel for Congress also urged that Section 304 did not purport to terminate respondents' employment.
		Nor can we agree with counsel for Congress that the Section did not provide for the dismissal of respondet but merely forbade governmental agencies to compensate respondents for their work or to incur obligations for such compensation at any and all times.
		What was challenged therefore is a statute which, because of what Congress thought to be their political beliefs, prohibited respondents from ever engaging in any government work, except as jurors or soldiers.

		The intent of the bill was to restrict commercial fishing licenses to citizens of the United States, and aliens who had declared their intention to become citizens, wording which would have effectively removed Japanese from the commercial fishery without ever specifically mentioning them by name.
		In addition, it was suggested that the Department of State might hold serious reservations since AB 336 appeared to violate the spirit, if not the letter of the Treaty of Commerce and Navigation which commercially linked the United States and Japan.
		The legislation contemplates the restriction of all commercial fishing under the jurisdiction of the State of California to citizens of the United States and had been endorsed by the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, and other groups as a safeguard to prevent further espionage on fleet activities and operations.
