Question

How did President Franklin D. Roosevelt increase the powers of the
presidency?

Answer 1

The most obvious example of this would be how President Franklin D. Roosevelt expanded the powers of the presidency, so as not just to be the chief enforcer of the law, but also its chief legislator and draft person.

Answer 2

Franklin Delano Roosevelt served as President from March 1933 to April 1945, the longest tenure in American history. He may have done more during those twelve years to change American society and politics than any of his predecessors in the White House, save Abraham Lincoln. Of course, some of this was the product of circumstances; the Great Depression and the rise of Germany and Japan were beyond FDR's control. But his responses to the challenges he faced made him a defining figure in American history.
