Sure Thing Essay

From George Washington to 2017’s Donald Trump, the United States Executive responsibilities have increased drastically. In respect to the powers that the president was to be given in the early America, funnily enough the Framers were just breaking away from a tyrannical monarchy that put one person in power of everything, and to repeat that system with a president was probably the last thing they wanted to do. But now presidents can make executive orders, purpose legislation to congress, and even gain much more control over the nation during a time of crisis or war.
