Answer to Question 1

The ideal answer should:
a. Discuss how the history of American politics reflects an ongoing struggle over the balance of power between the legislative and executive branches of government and how the legislative branch is losing the battle because it is unable to defend its institutional interests and often delegates broad authority to the president.
b.Explain the three distinct circumstances identified by political scientists in which legislators are likely to expand the president's power through legislation, which are the ally principle, technical complexity, and times of crisis, noting that Congress willingly cedes authority in the first two situations, knowing that it may be used to advance policy objectives with which they disagree.
c. Assess how the president has continued to gain power at the expense of Congress because of the advantages he or she has in terms of ex ante and ex post influence over the budget, noting that Congress relies heavily on the budget proposals of the president and that the president has ample opportunities to redirect federal spending, including the powers of rescission and deferral.
