The executive power has grown thanks to the social perception of international crisis. Additionally, this has caused the three branches of public power to weaken.
The central theme of the text is the transformation that the central executive power of the United States has had, influenced by different factors such as:
- Indochina War
- Watergate case
These events have caused the presidency of the United States to acquire more power to make decisions. One of the important aspects of this transformation is international politics because the influence of the international crisis made the executive branch grow in importance.

In the last years presidential primacy, so indispensable to the political order, has turned into presidential supremacy. The constitutional Presidency—as events so apparently disparate as the Indochina War and the Watergate affair showed, has become the imperial Presidency and threatens to be the revolutionary Presidency. . . . The imperial Presidency was essentially the creation of foreign policy. A combination of doctrines and emotions—belief in the permanent and universal crisis, fear of communism, faith in the duty and right of the United States to intervene swiftly in every part of the world—had brought about the unprecedented centralization of decisions. Prolonged war in Vietnam strengthened the tendencies toward both centralization and exclusion. So the imperial Presidency grew at the expense of the constitutional order. Like the cowbird, it hatched its own eggs and pushed the others out of the nest. And, as it overwhelmed the traditional separation of powers in foreign affairs, it began to aspire toward an equivalent centralization of power in the domestic polity.
