Book excerpt: Excerpt from Supplemental Brief of the United States in Support of the Plenary Power of Congress Over Alien Enemies, and the Constitutionality of the Alien Enemy Act (Revised Statutes, Sections 4067-4070) The Alien Enemy Act of July 6, 1798 (Rev. Stat., secs. 4067-4070), was enacted by Congress under its power and duty to protect the Nation against peril from enemies in time of war, and its constitutionality can not be doubted in the light of such object and of the circumstances under which its provisions are intended to operate; I. Legislative History of the Act of July 6, 1798 (Rev. Stat., secs. 4087-4070); II. The cases arising under or referring to the Act of July 6,1798 (Rev. Stat., secs. 4067-4070), contain no expression of doubt by the courts as to its constitutionality, and four justices of the United States Supreme Court have participated in these cases.; Lockington's Case in the State Court; Lockington v. Smith in the Federal Court; It is to he especially noted that nowhere in either of these opinions is there a trace of n doubt as to the constitutionality of the statute, and this notwithstanding eminent counsel, accustomed to appear before the United States Supreme Court, appeared in both cases. III. The power of Congress over the persons and property of alien enemies resident in the United States in time of war is plenary and uncontrolled. It is derived from the power of Congress under the Constitution to declare war and to make rules concerning captures on land and water, as well as from the powers residing in the sovereign Nation under the Common III Law, and under the Law of Nations.
