No. Congress must authorize everything the President can and can not do. If the president does something that he is not authorized to do then he could face impeachment. There have been several cases where the president expands his powers without authorization and Congress has chosen not to act, however they can at any time.

∙ 11y agoNo, not really. Presidential power has been gradually expanding for several decades; most historians note that President Bush expanded the powers of the executive branch considerably; Barack Obama has not reversed most of those expansions (few presidents want to see a rollback of presidential authority, once it has been expanded). But Mr. Obama has not added to the powers he inherited when he took office.
