In the year 1882, the U.S senate passed the Chinese Exclusion act and was signed by President Chester A. Arthur. During the time period, there was many immigrants, especially Chinese, that immigrated to the United States, which caused a lot of labor. Congress decided to pass this law because a lot of Chinese people were illegally immigrating to the United States and taking away the jobs that the American Citizens wanted. The Act caused the Chinese to be ineligible for naturalization, meaning that they can't become a citizen. Because of the act, the Chinese population in the U.S during that time declined tremendously.

Why might congress and the people be more willing to allow a president to expand his powers during a time of national emergency?
maksim [4K]
The congress and the people allow a president to expand his power during a time of national emergency to keep the domestic peace, to wage war internationally and to stabilize the economy. The two examples are when president Abraham Lincoln receive retroactive permission to order the army increased from 22,000 to 75,000 to maintain domestic peace against internal rebellion and the other one is when the congress permitted Roosevelt to make a number of new agencies and organizations that issued principles and policies without regard to congressional mandates to stabilize the economy.
