a term coined by Arthur Schlesinger to describe the centralization of power in the presidency and the unconstitutional use of power by the federal executive
Imperial Presidency
imperial presidency
The concept of the imperial presidency suggests an excessive concentration of power in the executive branch, undermining the system of checks and balances that is foundational to democratic governance. This can lead to abuses of power, diminished accountability, and erosion of civil liberties, as the president may bypass legislative oversight and act unilaterally. Such centralization threatens the democratic principle that power should be distributed among branches of government to prevent tyranny and ensure that citizens have a voice in decision-making. Ultimately, the imperial presidency risks undermining public trust in government institutions.
It means that the President is wielding his power in such a way that he appears more like a monarch than a democratic leader.

My guess is that the imperial presidency is far down on the list of worries for most Americans. For those few that worry about it, it is likely because they do not like what the president is doing. Since the only way the US can have an imperial president is for the Congress to abdicate its constitutional power , maybe that is what they worry about, That is what I would worry about- a Congress that is afraid to take a stand because they would think it might cost them votes and they are more interested in keeping their job than in solving the country's problems.
