President Franklin Delano Roosevelt authorized the internment with Executive Order 9066 on February 19, 1942, which allowed local military commanders to designate "military areas" as "exclusion zones," from which "any or all persons may be excluded." This power was used to declare that all people of Japanese ancestry were excluded from the entire Pacific coast, including all of California and most of Oregon and Washington, except for those in internment camps. In 1944, the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the exclusion orders, while noting that the provisions that singled out people of Japanese ancestry were a separate issue outside the scope of the proceedings. The United States Census Bureau assisted the internment efforts by providing confidential neighborhood information on Japanese Americans. The Bureau's role was denied for decades but was finally proven in 2007.

When did the presidentcy get 2 year limet?

It never did. It has a two-TERM limit, which was imposed by the Republicans after Franklin Delano Roosevelt died. He served four terms, and the Republicans wanted to make sure it never happened again. Before Roosevelt there was a "gentleman's agreement" that a president should only serve two terms. Roosevelt broke it because the country was at war and he felt it would be bad to change presidents during such a time of struggle.


Which president tried to pack the supreme court in 1930?

Franklin Delano Roosevelt attempted to "pack" the Supreme Court in 1937, not 1930. His idea was to increase the number of justices, and appoint his own people to fill all of the new vacancies. While technically legal, most people thought it was bad form, and the idea was never implemented. And the advent of the European war in 1939 (which was obviously coming even in 1936) calmed down a lot of the political turmoil within the US as the '30s came to a close.
