Here's a short piece on the subject of how the office has assumed more power without specific constitutional amendment to do so. Much of it boils down to strong personalities using circumstance to bend congress to their will. Unlike Cincinnatus, the office never returned its acquired power. http://www.ushistory.org/gov/7a.asp |
