To me the growth of the president’s role and powers overtime is a positive thing because just as the country and its global role grew, the president’s role and powers has grown over time. It has done so threw practice, tradition and the personal energy from some of our past presidents, (PG 180). This growth in power, came about when it was needed most. Such as in times of war like the Civil War and the Cold war, and from the increasing importance of foreign policies, and domestic issues. And then from other hard times, like the great depression when the need to tackle things such as the social and economic problems the United States was facing.
