The Emergency Banking Act, officially titled the Emergency Banking Relief Act, also sometimes known as the War Powers Act of 1933,[1] was a legislative response to the Great Depression and was signed by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt on March 9th, 1933. The act amended the World War I era law, the Trading with the Enemy Act of 1917.[1]
The Act set the tone for the New Deal with FDR asserting that he could use war powers to deal with the crisis despite the lack of an actual war.[2]
The Act was superceded by the Banking Act of 1933,(Known as the Glass-Steagall Act) enacted on June 16th, 1933.
