Abstract

The article from the Journal of Supreme Court History delves into the untold story of Justice Robert H. Jackson's 1952 concurrence in Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company v. Sawyer, which established the constitutional framework for the separation of powers between Congress and the president. It reveals new details about how Justice Jackson crafted this seminal opinion and how it gained recognition. The article also explores the influences on Justice Jackson's concurrence, including a Justice Department memo by Assistant Solicitor General Golden W. Bell, and highlights the impact of the opinion during the Watergate scandal, which led to a reevaluation of executive authority. [Extracted from the article]
