Politik - Politische Systeme allgemein und im Vergleich

Main argument in the paper is that the increase in the presidential power does not always mean the President is eager to increase his powers in order to achieve a unilateral system, as the majority of the scholars postulate I reflected other reasons that pushed the executive power to increase, such as the media and the nature of the internal affairs. However, mainly it comes from two reasons: Congress that is not exercising its full powers of checks and balance; and an Attorney General who does not counsel the President when the President exceeds the powers vested into his position.
