Hi my name is Lilian and I am a junior majoring in Political Science and Business Administration. I have done a bit of wandering around in getting my undergraduate degree but I am excited to be back in Alaska for the last year and a half. I am especially interested in how presidential power has evolved over time. In times of crisis Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson both expanded the powers of the presidency. This wasn’t beyond what was allowed in the Constitution but more a reinterpretation of the powers in the Constitution. I think this evolution is very interesting and I would like to know how that happens and when it has happened in the contemporary era.
