It has been said in the past that the US president is a king with telephones. Indeed, the office of President of the United States was modeled after the theoretical powers of the Stuart and Hanover monarchs. Perhaps, instead of gradually growing larger and gigantic; the office of President remains reserved, exercising its power as necessary, exercising not to little and not to much power. Congress could theoretically pick up the modern day slack of the President, taking more control over the civil service, perhaps even setting up the policy of the civil service for said fiscal year in its apportionment bills. Another development which possibly could aid in this, in my opinion, is the Vice President being allowed to exercise his powers as Senate President, perhaps another other than Adams becomes VP, and oversees establishing the precedent of a stronger VP.
Other than my ideas, is this overall possible? Or is it inevitable that the President becomes all encompassing and important in terms of US politics?
