The U.S. presidency has changed as an institution since its inception, directly impacting the spherical division of powers as enumerated within the U.S. Constitution. The Framers intended the presidency to be a limited position of power; thus, they divided the national power between three bodies; the Legislative, the Executive, and the Judiciary. George Washington established a point of reference as America’s first president; stewarding his authority by delegating his centralized position of power unto the states and their regional localities.
