Tracking the rise of U.S. 'Presidential Power'
Manage episode 456456440 series 3551296
After the architects of the U.S. Constitution framed the role of Congress in Article I, they set about to define the executive branch in Article II and a job description for the U.S. President — whom they envisioned to be a cheerleader for Congress. SMU Professor Jeffrey Engel — director of the Center for Presidential History — notes that vision was relatively short-lived. Professor Engel explains an escalation of presidential powers over time as Congress ceded control to a series of presidents navigating crises. Beginning with Abraham Lincoln and continuing with McKinley, Teddy Roosevelt and on through the world war administrations to the present, the office of the President has morphed into a more authoritarian and albeit imperial role.
