Answer 2

Answer:

Roosevelt

Explanation:

The 1940 Selective Training and Service Act (or Burke-Wadsworth Act) was passed during the end of Franklin D. Roosevelt's second term in office. The conscription, which required that men between the ages of 21 and 35 register with local draft boards, was enacted in the midst of World War II, at a time when the U.S. had not entered the war yet, and so the law became the first draft of American history to be passed during peacetime.
