In 1933, two days after he took office, President Franklin Roosevelt

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks about an action taken by President Franklin D. Roosevelt two days into his presidency in 1933. 
Option 1: 'ended prohibition.' While Prohibition was repealed later in 1933 with the 21st Amendment, the actual repeal occurred later in the year, not specifically two days after FDR took office, so this is inaccurate for the given timeframe.
Option 2: 'closed all banks for a short period.' This corresponds to the Bank Holiday FDR proclaimed shortly after taking office, closing banks for inspection and stabilization, which occurred very early in his first days in office, making this the correct characterization of the event in that specific timeframe.
Option 3: 'sent the National Industrial Recovery Act to Congress.' The NIRA was a major New Deal program, but it was not sent to Congress within two days of his inauguration; it was proposed later as part of broader New Deal measures.
Option 4: 'took the country off the gold standard.' Although the United States would move away from the gold standard during 1933, this action was not the immediate two-day post-inaugural move described in the question and thus does not match the specified timing.
In summary, the bank holiday described in option 2 aligns precisely with the timeline two days after FDR took office, while the other options either refer to actions that occurred later in 1933 or describe events not tied to that very early window.
