The act was supplemented by the clayton antitrust act in 1914. Both acts are enforced by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Attorney General's office.

Can US President Thomas Jefferson's purchase of the Louisiana Territory be an example of unilateral presidential authority?

US President Harry Truman once used the Louisiana Purchase in 1803 as an example of unilateral presidential authority and initiative.

The US Congress made an objection to Jefferson's acts and to solidify its stance confirmed the envoys who negotiated the purchase, appropriated the funds for the purchase, ratified and ratified the treaty confirming the purchase.
