  Executive Orders excerpted from the book Inside the Shadow Government
Franklin Roosevelt used executive orders in 1933 to close all American banks and force citizens to turn in their gold coins and, in 1942, to intern American citizens of Japanese descent for the duration of World War II.
While the Constitution is silent on the president's authority to issue such orders, Supreme Court rulings have declared the president has implied powers to issue those orders to the executive branch necessary to discharge his constitutional responsibility to execute the law faithfully.
A trend in executive orders after World War II is to be as vague as possible in citing the legal basis for the order.
