in 1933, newly-elected president franklin d. roosevelt issued proclamation 2039, which declared national emergency an imposed a bank holiday. the proclamation cited to twea (obliquely referenced as the "act of october 6, 1917) as the basis of his authority. aware that such action was legally dubious since the united states was not at war, roosevelt asked congress to ratify his actions by passing the emergency banking relief act, which amended twea to enable its use during any "period of national emergency declared by the president." president franklin d. roosevelt, using these new authorities, issued executive order 6102 to limit gold ownership. these restrictions continued until january 1, 1975. the twea has been amended several other times.
