Actually the presidency has always been a sort of pseudo monarchy, some wanted to make Washington King. And the Madisonian idea of three co equal branches of govt has been a fiction since WW 2. There's an interesting and wonkish new book out on the topic called The Executive Unbound.; 30 April, 2011 09:51
