Many scholars believe that in recent years the executive branch has become too powerful. At the founding years, the executive branch was less powerful and in modern day society presidents’ have made strong claims tied to their constitutional powers. On the contrary, the courts do not see the presidency as too powerful. According to various political writers such as Eric A. Posner, they believe the Courts frequently worry about legislative intrusion on the presidency, and in disputes amid Congress. On the other hand, the executive view their role as safeguarding, that neither establishment have power at the charge of the other. Two factors that are responsible for this shift are the war making power by the presidency and the process of appropriation.
