In my opinion I think U.S president today have less power if they could have than before. The presidents back then would hold office until retirement or until death. Today they can hold office for only two terms for which each is four years long. They still cannot make decisions on their own they need the approval of the two other governing branches. I think the framers of the constitution would be satisfied knowing this is so and that the constitution has been something that has been used to base off democracy appropriately.
Answer:
I believe that the majority of the actions taken by presidents during wars were justified, and were within their power. The presidents acted accordingly to protect the United States and allies. In some situations these presidents may have acted a bit rapidly with their declarations of war, and in other situations, like during World War II, they may have acted too slow. But in the majority of situations covered the outcome was positive through the use of presidential power. Although there is more power granted to the president today, there is a shorter time for which the president can use this power. I agree with this, and I believe that the framers of the constitution would agree that this is good. Up until 1947, following the end of World War II, presidents could stay in office until they lost an election, retired, or died. Now, they can serve a maximum of two terms, or eight years. This prevents any one president from getting too powerful in office. I think that presidents have just enough power, because of how well the constitution was written. The founding fathers did a very good job, albeit evidently not perfect from the numerous amendments, but still a very good job creating a strong government that is not too powerful. The president has enough power to do their job effectively, but not too much as to make them power hungry or corrupt.
