This executive order, signed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on 1933-04-25, establishes federal administrative policy concerning "Revision and Codification of the Nationality Laws of the United States." It is a direct, concise executive instruction delivering focused administrative or military commands to department leadership.
Constitutional Assessment: Reviewed under the Tenth Amendment and the principle of dual federalism, this order touches upon domains traditionally reserved to the sovereign States. The Framers would caution against any attempt to commandeer state officers or displace local police powers through federal executive fiat.
