LAD #35: Executive Order No. 9066

By issuing the Executive Order No. 9066, FDR granted several military officials such as his Secretary of War to maintain a residence in regions both local and foreign for troops. These regions were to be supplied with adequate transportation, food, shelter, and other necessary accommodations needed to fulfill their orders. Military men were also given the right to use federal troops to maintain order. FDR also authorized the aid of these military residences by hospitalization, food, clothing, and use of land, among other things. To ensure that this order survived, FDR also entailed parts that declared its superior status to earlier proclamations. It also superseded the authority of the Attorney General. It did not interfere with the FBI, but took precedence at the time.
