Vice President Henry Wallace publically broke with President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1942, claiming that Roosevelt had been dishonest with the American people in the lead-up to the country's entry into World War II. By 1942, Congress had begun impeachment proceedings. Wallace acknowledged that he would probably be president if Roosevelt was removed from office. Wallace publically stated that only peace could get the country back on track.

Henry "Hank" Wallace was Secretary of the Interior in the Smith Administration. As such, he knew about the U.S. superbomb project in Hanford. When Congresswoman Flora Blackford discovered the discrepancy in the budget that funded the project, she made several calls to the Department of the Interior, including to Wallace's office. She did not speak to Wallace. However, Assistant Secretary of War Franklin D. Roosevelt called her back.
Wallace served until President Smith was killed in 1942. Wallace resigned, and was replaced by Harry Hopkins.
