The Presidency greatly increased its power relative to the other 2 branches.
1. Signing statements have allowed the President to disregard federal laws.
2. The War Powers Act permits the President to order acts of war without a Congressional declaration of war.
3. Executive Orders allow the President to issue sovereign proclamations, many of which have established agencies and activities operating outside Congressional oversight.
Jonathan Turley is a true American hero.
