Question 1: Imperial Presidency
The term Imperial presidency is used to describe the modern day presidents   of the United States of America beginning from 1960s. Imperial Presidency is associated with the following features: The Presidents have a large executive staff and having extensive powers that far exceeds the limits of the constitution. It is said to be the type of Presidency that is accountable to the electorates only at the time of elections or when under impeachment threats.
The historians believe that Imperial Presidency is something that has been created over a period of time by the holders of the office of the President and the changing position of the US as the Superpower. Some historians feel that during the time of aggression against the nation [This wording is unclear because it is vague. Can you be more specific here?], it is important for the Executive Branch of Government to take immediate intervention and as such this has resulted in the creation of Imperial Presidency. [Why? Can you further explain this idea?] Furthermore, the many responsibilities that have been placed on the Presidency calls for employment of a large staff and advisory  bodies around the Presidency to assist in running the country and coming up with relevant policies. [How does this contribute to the creation of imperial presidencies? Explain.]
In my opinion, having read the Presidency of Franklin Roosevelt, Â I am of the opinion that his Presidency personifies Imperial Presidency. By actively engaging his government in welfare of the nation and actively engaging his government in economic issues that were facing the US at that time, Roosevelt actions were a true depiction of Imperial Presidency. [How so? Explain.] During the Second World War, Roosevelt allowed the US forces to join allies a further indication of much control and power of the Presidency on national issues. [How does this make him an imperial president? Explain.]
