| Summary: | Ever since Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr. used 'imperial presidency' as a book title, the term has become central to the debate about the balance of power in the U.S. government. Since the presidency of George W. Bush, when advocates of executive power gained ascendancy, the argument has blazed hotter than ever. Many argue that the Constitution itself is in grave danger.
