The Lend-Lease act was a treaty of sorts that granted the United States the ability to lease to the Allied Nations materials needed for the war. This proposal was met with great disapproval by Congress and President Roosevelt had a hard time selling his point. He believed however that this act would make America the "arsenal of Democracy".
1941
Roosevelt got involved in WW2 by having Congress pass the Lend Lease Act. The Lend Lease Act allowed the president to aid ANY country considered "vital" to US security and interests. This allowed Roosevelt to send supplies, weapons, vehicles, food and anything else to countries such as Britain and Franch. Eventually the US aids Joseph Stalin and the Soviet Union. It was called the Lend Lease act because in return for supplies, the countries leased plots of land to the US. This Act allowed us to remain out of conflict but still a major contributor to the Allied Powers.
President Roosevelt pressured the Congress greatly.Congress people came to realize they had to approve the act to keep the US people out of the war (not send their own men to fight).The depression caused a lot of joblessness. By approving the lend lease act there would be more jobs, ship yards reopened and other manufacturing plants could be reopened for business.The UK was desperate for everything that would be provided by the lend lease act being approved. The island nations of the UK were at the mercies of the Nazis and the US Senators and Congresspeople realized they really should help them.
The development that most likely prompted Congress to pass the Lend-Lease Act in 1941 was the increasing threat posed by Nazi Germany during World War II, particularly after the fall of France in June 1940. The urgency to support Allied nations, especially Britain, which was facing the brunt of the German military aggression, made it clear that direct U.S. involvement was necessary to counteract the Axis powers. Additionally, the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941 further solidified the need for such support, although the Lend-Lease Act was already in effect by then.

yes because the us was not in the war at that time and it was right of them to help the other nations by sending them supplies
The New Deal
President Franklin D. Roosevelt mobilized the armed forces through a combination of legislative measures, executive orders, and public campaigns. He advocated for the rearmament of the military, urging Congress to pass the Selective Service Act in 1940, which instituted the first peacetime draft in U.S. history. Roosevelt also established the Lend-Lease Act to provide military aid to Allies, thereby expanding U.S. involvement before officially entering World War II. His leadership and communication helped rally public support for military mobilization and preparedness.
He had congress pass bills to address the problems. To pass the New Deal congress only took 38 minuets to pass it and send it to the president.
When France fell to Nazi Germany in June 1940, Congress responded by increasing support for military preparedness and aid to allies. The fall of France heightened fears of Axis expansion, prompting Congress to pass the Selective Service Act to prepare for potential American involvement in the war. Additionally, there was a push for greater support for Britain, leading to the Lend-Lease Act in 1941, which allowed the U.S. to supply military aid to Allied nations.
