 Jon Christian Ryter
A peacetime application of the Trading With the Enemy Act without some form of universal modification that would allow Roosevelt to apply the tenets of that law against the citizens of the United States would be meaningless.
As defined under the Act of October 6, 1917, American citizens were exempted from the classification of an "enemy." However, in the Roosevelt version, the only people under scrutiny for punitive action are American citizensÑor those who haplessly fall within the jurisdiction of the United States government.
The Trading With the Enemy Act has now been duly codified, and is now a permanent part of the U.S. Federal Code.

 Cuban travel law
But they and their U. government friends passed their act and dishonestly attached it to The Trading With The Enemy Act by calling Cuba's move to socialism a "national emergency," because that's the way corrupt people with power typically do these things.
The Trading With The Enemy Act of 1917 was meant to control business dealings with countries with which the U.S. was actually at war.
The constant revisors, endorsers, and champions of these regulations defend their outdated and never justifiable rat's nest of quasi-legal blather in shrill and expediently incoherent terms that imply national security is at stake, the connection between these regulations and the "Trading With The Enemy Act," is contrived, tenuous, and dishonestly protracted.

 Economic Crimes and Cuban Cigars (September 2000)
The “Trading with the Enemy Act” is arbitrary, however, not simply in the determination of enemies but also in the application of the law.
For not every American who “trades with the enemy” by purchasing Cuban cigars is guilty of a crime, but only those who have done so without the permission of a federal bureaucrat.
Ironically, “trading with the enemy” is the type of arbitrary economic crime to which the Cuban people are subjected as part of their socialist economic system.

 Worden2
Congress passed the Trading with the Enemy Act on Oct. 6, 1917, six months after the US entered World War I. Although the Constitution gives the power to regulate commerce to Congress, Congress felt that the President needs the flexibility to regulate - and even Embargo - trade with the enemy in time of war.
To promulgate valid regulations under the Act, the country must be in either a War declared by Congress or a National Emergency declared by the President.
Accordingly, in 1977 Congress amended the Trading with the Enemy Act by revoking all authority for the President to act in a "National Emergency." Thus, since 1977 the Act only empowers the President while the country is at war.

 Is the Constitution Suspended?
According to Schroder, the foundation for the current crisis was laid on October 6, 1917 with the passage of the Trading With the Enemy Act.
Looking in section 95(b) of USC Title 12, this writer found, in place of Dr. Schroder's reference to the 1917 Trading With the Enemy Act, a reference to "section 95(a) of this title." Section 95(a) refers only to a time of war, not to a period of national emergency.
But even this portion of the act, though always unconstitutional, was amended in 1977 to read: "During time of war, the President may...." What was deleted from the original by the 1977 amendment, of course, is the reference to a "national emergency declared by the President."
