[h=3][/h] [h=1]Watch Lecture Nine[/h] [h=2]“The Imperial Presidency”[/h] 
[h=3][/h] [h=3]
[/h] [h=3]Overview:[/h] A troubling feature of the modern presidency, which has expanded rapidly under the Obama Administration, is a brazen disregard for constitutional limits and the law. Contrary to the framework of the Constitution, which depends on competition among the three branches of government, Congress and the courts have been increasingly complacent in the face of, and often compliant with, the development of this feature. Over the course of the last century, particularly since the 1960s, these institutions have enabled the modern executive branch to exercise all three powers of government in the regulation of nearly all aspects of everyday life.
