Robert H. Jackson, Chicago Southern Air Lines v. Waterman Steamship Corporation…
“ But the action of the President does not broaden the review. Review is restricted to the action of the Board and the Board alone.The statute, as I construe it, contemplates that certificates issued will rest on orders of the Board which satisfy the standards prescribed by Congress. Presidential approval cannot make valid invalid orders of the Board. His approval supplements rather than supersedes Board action. Only when the Board has acted within the limits of its authority has the basis been laid for issuance of certificates. ”
