For example, in 1943, during World War II, President Franklin Roosevelt stated in a declaration of signature that he considered Section 304 of the Urgent Deficiency Appropriations Act of 1943 (cap. 218, 57 stat. 431, 450 (1943)) unconstitutional, but that he had no choice but to sign the bill “so as not to delay our war.” He indicated that he would enforce the law, but that if the law was challenged in court, the Attorney General would have to side with the complainant and attack the law instead of defending it. When such a trial took place, Congress had to appoint a special advocate to defend the law in court.
The case eventually went to the Supreme Court, which agreed with President Roosevelt and struck down the provision, citing his signature statement in the Court`s opinion (United States v. Lovett, 328 U.S. 303 (1946)). “[The president] should ensure that laws are enforced expeditiously.” Article II, ยง 3.
