  Executive Orders excerpted from the book Inside the Shadow Government
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.
Lincoln later extended the order suspending the writ of habeas corpus to the entire United States; its principal targets were not Confederate saboteurs or spies but northerners who opposed the war or the draft (especially newspaper editors and writers).

 Korematsu v. United States
United States, 320 U.S. 81, we sustained a conviction obtained for violation of the curfew order.
Consequently, the only order in effect touching the petitioner's being in the area on May 30, 1942, the date specified in the information against him, was the May 3 order which prohibited his remaining there, and it was that same order, which he stipulated in his trial that he had violated, knowing of its existence.
The contention is that we must treat these separate orders as one and inseparable; that, for this reason, if detention in the assembly or relocation center would have illegally deprived the petitioner of his liberty, the exclusion order and his conviction under it cannot stand.

Whereas the conclusion of the Commission was that the promulgation of Executive Order 9066 was not justified by military necessity, and that the decision to issue the order was shaped by ``race prejudice, war hysteria, and a failure of political leadership'';

 Executive Order No. 9066
On February 19, 1942, a "day of infamy" as far as the Constitution is concerned, Franklin Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, which was the instrument by which just over 120,000 persons, two-thirds of them American citizens, were confined in concentration camps on American soil, in some cases for nearly four years.
It was on that date in 1942, in the midst of the response to the hostilities that began on December 7, 1941, that Executive Order No. 9066 was issued, subsequently enforced by the criminal penalties of a statute enacted March 21, 1942, resulting in the uprooting of loyal Americans.
The Executive order that was issued on February 19, 1942, was for the sole purpose of prosecuting the war with the Axis Powers, and ceased to be effective with the end of those hostilities.

 Executive Order 9066--FDR's Enduring Legacy
Executive Order 9066 authorized the federal government to incarcerate nearly 120,000 Japanese Americans--without due process--in internment camps throughout World War II.
Executive Order 9066, a knee-jerk response to the Japanese attack, was implemented to allegedly protect the country “against espionage and against sabotage to national-defense material, national-defense premises, and national-defense utilities.” However, the order indiscriminately applied to “all persons” of Japanese ancestry, regardless of age, sex, or citizenship.
With the addition of FDR’s Executive Order 9102 – the order that created the War Relocation Authority (WRA) to administer the “relocation” while providing $5.5 million to begin the task--Japanese internment was underway.

 Executive Order No. 9102
There is established in the Office for Emergency Management of the Executive Office of the President the War Relocation Authority, at the head of which shall be a Director appointed by and responsible to the President.
Departments and agencies of the United States are directed to cooperate with and assist the Director in his activities hereunder.
In order to avoid duplication of evacuation activities under this order and Executive Order No. 9066 of February 19, 1942, the Director shall not undertake any evacuation activities within military areas designated under said Executive Order No. 9066, without the prior approval of the Secretary of War or the appropriate military commander.

 Order without Rule
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
In hindsight the issue of interning the Japanese was extremely unethical and seems logical that Executive Order 9066 would be deemed unconstitutional, yet during time of war the rules change.
  Under the authority of Presidential war-powers, executive order 9066 was “held constitutional as of the time it was made,” according to the Supreme Court’s decision on December 18, 1944 in the case of Korematsu verse the United States (www2.law.cornell.edu).

United States Executive Order 9066 was signed into law on February 19, 1942 (during World War II), by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, utilizing his authority as Commander in Chief to exercise war powers.
This order authorized military commanders to declare areas of the United States as military areas "from which any or all persons may be excluded." It was eventually applied to one-third of the land area of the U.S. and was used against those with "Foreign Enemy Ancestry" even though they were native-born U.S. citizens.
The Secretary of War was to assist those residents of such an area who were excluded with transportation, food, shelter, and other accommodations.

 Why Did the U.S. Intern the Japanese During WW II?
February 19, 1942, FDR signed Executive Order 9066, usually referred to as the "Japanese Internment Order." The order actually called only for the creation of security zones over which the military had control of access and residence.
A month later the actual exclusion order was released, giving "all persons of Japanese ancestry" barely a week to collect a few necessities, put affairs in order and report to "control centers," where over a hundred thousand citizens and long-term resident aliens were cataloged and put on trains to ten internment camps.
To add insult to injury, the internees were forced to answer a questionnaire regarding their loyalty to the United States.

After the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, people of Japanese ancestry living in the United States were subjected to the emotional venting of racial hatred and distrust, eventually leading to the incarceration of nearly 120,000 people, most of them U.S. citizens.
During the opening months of World War II, almost 120,000 Japanese Americans, two-thirds of them citizens of the United States, were forced out of their homes and into detention camps established by the U.S. government.
This order was carried out quickly, as Japanese Americans from all of California, Arizona, Oregon and Washington, sold what they could not carry and boarded trains to 16 assembly centers.

Walter Pincus at the Washington Post just recently criticized Bush’s previous order, which imposed the same penalty on people who “act” to “threaten the peace of stability of Iraq.” While critiquing the order along the same Constitutional lines, Pincus noted that the administration meant to target insurgents, not American citizens.
Some would argue that executive orders make little noise in the press because they make little difference: A blatant disregard of our Constitutional rights would merely give the Supreme Court a rotten bit of beef to chew and spit right back at the administration.
United States challenged the order on constitutional grounds and got the wheels of justice rolling.
