Excerpt from The Relation of the Executive, Power to Legislation
There are those who tell us that the political philos ophy of the founders of the Republic is unsuited to a twentieth-century world, that What they regarded as a self-evident truth is now seen to be only a fetish. If we are not prepared to reject the theory of the separa tion of powers, we should endeavor by all means to re store the lost equipoise, and to regain the ancient paths of ordered liberty under representative government. But if the new view is correct, or if it is true that ex ecutive arrogation of power is the result of forces operating irresistibly in the life of the nation, or the outcome of an evolutionary process which cannot now be reversed, then it becomes us to ask ourselves what we mean to do with our new form of government.

Excerpt from The Relation of the Executive, Power to Legislation
The framers of the Constitution of the United States and of the contemporary state constitutions firmly believed that the preservation of liberty required a careful separation and delimitation of powers between the three great branches or departments of government, and made provision accordingly. In one respect, at least, their expectations have been frustrated and their plans have gone awry. For a survey of the course of our political history and of the development of political forces and methods shows that, as between the executive authority and the legislative power, the balance originally intended to be maintained has, both in the Union and the states, been very gravely disturbed. The President of the United States has grown into a position of overmastering influence over the legislative department of the government. He presents and procures the enactment of such measures as he desires, and prevents the passage of those which he disapproves. Congress is subservient to his will; its independence is in eclipse. On the other hand, many of the state governments are working ineffectively, and the states are losing their rightful jurisdiction and influence in our federated government, chiefly because they have stripped their governors of much of the authority which their responsibility to public and political opinion properly demands.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the compelling evolution of executive power in the United States. It traces the changing relationship between the executive and legislative branches from the presidencyâs inception to the present day, analyzing the factors that have influenced this dynamic. The author meticulously examines how the presidency has shifted from a position of relative subordination to Congress to one of dominance, and how this transformation has impacted American politics. By examining the presidency of iconic figures like Washington, Jackson, and Roosevelt, the author demonstrates how personal force, external events, and constitutional interpretations have shaped the colossal presidency we know today. This analysis offers a profound understanding of the role of the executive branch in American government and elucidates its enduring legacy on the nation's trajectory.
