The article discusses the executive power of the U.S. president throughout U.S. history from its founding through the mid 2010s, with a particular focus on presidents' efforts to use executive authority to override the U.S. Congress and U.S. courts. U.S. presidents' use of federal agencies to override Congress, including in regard to the U.S. Constitution and environmental administrative rules issued by U.S. government agencies and through referencing professor Philip Hamburger, is discussed.
