Note that these reasons are all related and intertwined. It is not always clear which are the cause and which are the effect.
Executive power has increased in America nearly since its inception. Thomas Jefferson bypassed constitutional limits with his purchase of Louisiana and his unauthorized deployment of troops against the Barbary pirates. President James K. Polk sent troops to Mexico, instigating war. He then manipulated Congress into declaring a state of war. A few decades later, Lincoln flirted with many constitutional boundaries during the Civil War. He suspended the writ of habeas corpus, tried civilians in military courts, and emancipated slaves. The list continues even after Lincoln: Theodore Roosevelt sent troops into multiple Caribbean countries and established governments without Congressional approval. In 1939, Franklin Delano Roosevelt declared a limited national emergency, which gave him the power to "organize and control the means of production, seize commodities, assign military forces abroad, institute martial law, seize and control all means of communication and transportation, regulate the operation of private enterprise, restrict travel, and, in a variety of ways, control the lives of United States citizens." Following in these previous precedents of increased executive power, Harry S. Truman sent troops into the Korean War and ordered the seizure of the nation's steel mills, both without Congressional approval. Years later, Richard Nixon bogusly invoked prior restraint in his attempts to conceal the Watergate tapes from the people. President George W. Bush authorized warrantless wiretapping through the PATRIOT ACT and sanction the unlawful detention of enemy combatants with Military Commissions Act. These are only some examples of the countless instances in which presidents have increased presidential power. In most cases (all except for Nixon's) presidents have done so either to strive for a "more perfect union" as stated in the Preamble of the Constitution" or to respond to the presence of a militant threat. Whatever the case, through the system of checks and balances, so intricately woven into the United State's system of government, and through the ideal of popular sovereignty (the president is held accountable to the people) presidential power can easily be checked, reversed, or abolished by the people of the United States.

Limiting factors is anything you can run out of. Exponential growth is just a form of geometric growth - growth by multiples rather than addition.
factors that contribute to exponential growth is unlimited resources while factors that contribute to logistic population growth is limited resources.
