Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The presidency has become much more powerful than the framers of the US Constitution had originally intended. The Constitution created a system of checks and balances to limit the power of any one branch of government, including the executive branch. However, over time, presidential power has expanded through various means such as executive orders, executive agreements, and increased control over the bureaucracy. This has resulted in a more centralized and powerful presidency.
