The contemporary president is the confirmation of the risk of a powerful president that the framers had feared for. The presidents of the independent constitution often played fiddle to congress and were mostly with limited powers.
over time however, the influence and popularity of several pesidents have led to such leaders usurping influence and power,both domestically and internationally over congress,especially after the war, when the president became the focal point, as his role as the chief diplomat became more important.
