Franklin Roosevelt, at first, agreed with American First, so other Americans agreed with America First too. Not All Americans agreed though, so the debate continued, but now it was President Roosevelt's choice whether or not to go to war and fight with England and France. At that time, Senator Borah went to a meeting with Franklin D. Roosevelt. "As the meeting came to order in the President's upstairs study, a reasonable cordiality was apparent on the surface, but the feeling underneath was tense." Borah said. "Among those attending were Vice President Garner, Majority Leader Barkley, Pittman, Minority Leader McNary, Deputy Minority Leader Warren Austin, and William E. Borah, ranking minority member of the foreign Relations Committee." Later on though, President Roosevelt decided to go to war.
