Zusammenfassung Leseprobe Details

Main argument in the paper is that the increase in the presidential power does not always mean the President is eager to increase his powers in order to achieve a unilateral system, as the majority of the scholars postulate I reflected other reasons that pushed the executive power to increase, such as the media and the nature of the internal affairs. However, mainly it comes from two reasons: Congress that is not exercising its full powers of checks and balance; and an Attorney General who does not counsel the President when the President exceeds the powers vested into his position.

Zusammenfassung der Kapitel (Chapter Summaries)

The introduction lays out the argument that presidential powers have been increasingly expanding, particularly in the areas of counter-terrorism and economic stimuli. The paper argues that external factors such as international politics, the media, and states of emergency contribute to this expansion, but the primary drivers are the inaction of Congress and the lack of guidance from the Attorney General. The chapter on historical literature examines the debate over presidential powers from the founding of the United States, citing examples like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. The author discusses the challenges of defining and limiting presidential power, especially in situations of national crisis. The chapter exploring reasons for the expansion of presidential powers analyzes several key factors. It discusses the role of Congress in either facilitating or hindering the expansion of presidential power, depending on the political climate and the party in control. It also explores how the president's position as head of state and his influence on public opinion can affect the effectiveness of checks and balances. The chapter further examines the president's relationship with foreign affairs, military capabilities, the media, and government agencies, noting how each relationship contributes to the expansion of executive authority. The assessment of findings explores the difficulty of defining “executive power” and the role of Congress in checking presidential power. The chapter discusses the different categories of presidential powers, including specific powers, vesting clause powers, structural powers, and extra-textual powers. It argues that Congress plays a critical role in limiting certain presidential powers, while others remain beyond congressional control. The chapter also acknowledges the challenges of balancing swift decision-making in times of crisis with congressional oversight.
