Congress helped develop the Presidency as we know it today. This is because Congress debates the proposals and laws proposed by the President. They constitute an important deterrent to the transformation of bills into laws. But it's not easy. One reason is that there are a lot of powerful groups out there arguing about what should be discussed, like air pollution with the EPA or jobs. To function more efficiently, there are certain responsibilities that Congress has assigned to the President over time. . But that doesn't mean Congress is losing power or authority. It simply means they are giving up a responsibility they don't need. One of these responsibilities entrusted to the President is raising and lowering tariffs. When it came to this issue, Congress could not act decisively alone. So even though Congress appropriates the funds, it has given the President this fiscal responsibility. Once again I want to emphasize that they have not lost any authority or power because of this. Everything they lost was a responsibility they no longer have to worry about since it is now the President's responsibility. However, the president has no authority or power regarding this issue. However, when he was given this fiscal responsibility, Congress also provided him with personal help in the form of the Office of the Budget. This department helps the President define the budget he wants to propose. In times of peace, the President is granted other authorities by Congress. One of these authorities he has is that of being able to initiate the reorganization of the White House staff. However, they can only get rid of a certain number of people. They cannot completely reorganize staff, eliminating entire agencies and departments. T...... half of the document ...... t from the exercise of authority in these cases. These inherent powers have been used both at home and abroad. The most common use of emergency powers is when a state of emergency is issued. But there were other cases when they were necessary. One of the first and most famous uses of emergency powers was when Abraham Lincoln used them to suspend the writ of habeas corpus during the Civil War in order to unite a divided country. One thing an emergency declaration can do is provide federal aid to an area or country in need. Examples of this include tragic disasters like Hurricane Katrina, not to mention the more recent Hurricane Irene, which devastated the East Coast. In conclusion, Congress has contributed to the development of the Presidency in many ways, allowing the president to exercise authority during an emergency or giving him certain powers.
