Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 25 page research paper. The 1952 Supreme Court case of Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v Sawyer 343 U.S. 579 circumscribed the powers of the presidency for one of the few times in the history of the United States. Citing both the fragility of the national economy and the needs of the fighting troops of the Korean War, President Harry Truman seized most of the country's steel mills in an effort to avert a steelworkers' strike that could have put troops in active warfare in even more danger stemming from a lack of necessary machinery and materiel. Strikes were commonplace in 1952 when the Supreme Court determined that Truman had overstepped the bounds provided for the presidency by the framers of the Constitution. Other factors were at play, however, and it appears that not all of them were taken into account by the Court. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

bounds provided for the presidency by the framers of the Constitution. Other factors were at play, however, and it appears that not all of them were taken into account
by the Court. The Beginnings of the War North Korean "strongman" Kim Il Sung called on Mao Zedong in Beijing on May 13, 1950. Kim had just come
from meeting with Joseph Stalin in Moscow and presenting his case for attack on South Korea, which Kim believed could be accomplished in a period of two weeks (Wehrfritz, 1997;
p. 50). Stalin gave his approval and committed communist support for the "liberation" of South Korea with the stipulation that chairman Mao be included in the final decision and
given the power to cause Kim to abandon any plans of attack on South Korea. "Mao was upset that his two communist neighbors had been plotting Koreas unification behind
his back. But during the four-day negotiation, he gave Kim the go-ahead, adding a promise with fateful implications for all of East Asia. If the American army participates,
