Best Answer

Woodrow Wilson didn't expand the power of presidency as much as used it to his advantage. During his two terms in office he got Congress to pass the Federal Trade Commission Act, the Clayton Antitrust Act, the Federal Reserve Act, and an income tax. Few presidents since have gotten Congress to pass a legislative agenda like he did.

How did Woodrow Wilson evaluate the role of the US president soon after the Spanish American War ended?

Statesman Woodrow Wilson often presented different views on the role of the US presidency as the leader of the US. Prior to the Spanish-American War, Wilson was fully behind the vital role the US Congress should play in national and international affairs. As the Spanish-American War was ending, Wilson took a look at the balance of power in the Federal system. When foreign affairs dominated the policy of the nation, he claimed that the executive must out of necessity be the guide, make initial decisions, and take every step required to lead the nation. His elevated view he had of the US presidency had taken a leap forward towards power that only President Lincoln had undertaken during the US Civil War.
