The president's power to control banking policies and reopen banks as he saw fit primarily stems from the emergency powers granted during a financial crisis, such as the Great Depression. The Emergency Banking Act of 1933 allowed the president to declare a bank holiday, assess the stability of banks, and reopen those deemed solvent. This legislation was enacted to restore public confidence in the banking system and stabilize the economy.
