The Imperial Presidency
"The critical tests of the imperial Presidency are threefold: the war-making power; the secrecy system; and the employment against the American people of emergency authority acquired for use against foreign enemies." - Arthur Schlesinger
Read and analyzed the U.S. Constitution. Now, armed with a textual and nuanced understanding of the U.S. Constitution, including Article II, you may come to the conclusion that the founding fathers, leery of tyrannical monarchs, deliberately made vague the powers and responsibility of the president.
That said, many historians argue that the institution of the presidency has grown over time. In 1973, Arthur Schlesinger Jr. published The Imperial Presidency. Whereas the book examines the history of the presidency since its inception, the author focuses on the increasingly expansive executive power of the Nixon presidency. Subsequent scholars have used the term "imperial presidency" to argue that since WWII, the expansion of presidential power and the growth of the federal bureaucracies is a dominant feature of the modern era. (Schlesinger, 1973)
