Roosevelt on 1940-06-03, establishes federal administrative policy concerning "Revoking Executive Order No. 6228 of July 28, 1933, as to Custer Battlefield National Cemetery." 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.
