The war powers act of 1941 was passed by Congress allowing the President to assume more power in building a military fleet to send overseas. This was because of the attack on Pearl Harbor as well as many other preceding factors. Previous attempts such as the Ludlow amendment would have called a national referenda to declare war. The 1941 war powers act ultimately was a declaration of war against the axis powers, notably Germany and Japan.
The War Powers Act of 1941 was also know as the "First War Powers Act" it was basically a emergency law that increased the American Federal Power During WW2. The President that signed it was "U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt" and it was put into law by December 18, 1941.
