Summary of "The Joint Resolution", "US V Curtiss-Wright Export CORP" -
ANS----FACTS OF THE CASE:---
-The Curtiss-Wright Export Corporation, a weapons manufacturer, sold fighter planes
and bombers to Bolivia during the Chaco War, during which Paraguay and Bolivia
contested control of a semi-arid region. This violated a Joint Resolution of Congress
and a proclamation issued by President Roosevelt, which banned U.S. weapons
manufacturers from aiding either side of the war. Challenging its indictment,
Curtiss-Wright argued that Congress had violated the non-delegation doctrine in
allowing the executive branch to make decisions that were properly left to the
legislature.
---CONCLUSION----
- Courts upheld the Joint Resolution. The Court reasoned that the federal government
could not exceed its enumerated powers regarding internal issues BUT had a much
broader scope of discretion in foreign affairs. Because "the President alone has the
power to speak or listen as a representative of the nation," Congress may provide the
President with a special degree of discretion in external matters which would not be
afforded domestically.
Treaty - ANS-an agreement between two or more nations(countries)
