Roosevelt easily won the reelection, defeating Alfred M. Landon in 1936. After his reelection, Roosevelt was faced with a second round of the New Deal, this time having to deal with criticisms of his programs. The Supreme Court declared many unconstitutional, so Roosevelt took matters into his own hands. He tried to pass legislation allowing him to add a justice to the court any time one did not retire at the age of seventy. This "packing" of the court caused an uproar and was rejected despite FDR's pleas. However, the Supreme Court did become more leniant towards his programs. Despite this, his image was marred, and the incident became known as his biggest mistake.
Additionally, FDR's New Deal programs were troubled by the union strikes that were permitted under the Wagner Act (which gave every woorker the right to join a union). The worst example of this took place on Memorial Day in South Chicago at the Republic Steel Plant. It became known as the Memorial Day Massacre.
Overall, the New Deal no longer had the strength of the first 99 days. It did not solve all of the problems of the Depression, yet the people still supported it. It would not be until the War that the American Economy would fully recover.
In Foreign Affairs, FDR proclaimed American neutrality in the war in Europe, however he did predict the US would have to act towards the Nazis in some way. Because of this, he was accused of "warmongering" or trying to get America in the war. However, with the Neutrality Act of 1939, Congress allowed countries fighting the Axis powers to buy supplies from the US.
