SCU Executive Branch Acting Outside the Constitution Scope Discussion

Overview

I don’t understand this Political Science question and need help to study.

  The framers of the Constitution expected that the legislature would be the most powerful branch, and that any attempts by the executive branch to take power away would be met with resistance. Over time, this has proven not to be true, as the legislative branch has ceded power to the executive.  Give three examples since 1950 of the executive branch acting outside of the original scope of the constitution. Be specific, use citations.
