If anyone is interested in reading a full book on the expansion of presidential powers, I'd recommend William Howell. He's written the following books: While Dangers Gather: Congressional Checks on Presidential War Powers (Princeton University Press, 2007) Power without Persuasion: The Politics of Direct Presidential Action (Princeton University Press, 2003) (Full disclosure: Howell is a professor at my Alma Mater.) http://harrisschool.uchicago.edu/faculty/web-pages/william-howell.asp Very informative and insightful.
