FDR expanded executive powers with New Deal legislation wich created the alphabet soup of programs (TVA, FCC). These exapnded executive power because FDR appointed each of the directors, which allowed his wishes to be carried out at the expense of the states and people
He said that since the powers were not stated as being excluded from his powers, that they were meant to be included, and he assumed them.
This only works if the people let it work, such that President Bush cannot decide that since he appoint Supreme Court Justices, that he can remove them, because the people and Congress would not let him.
And Congress could have, and did challenge his power and take back some of the authority that he usurped.
