CMV: The Executive powers need to be rolled back

The powers of the US president have been expanded bit by bit with every president and the end result is this position with more power than it was meant to have and exceedingly contentious elections. 

I think the Legislature, particularly the House, was meant to be the most powerful branch. It was the only part of the Federal government that has always been determined by the direct popular vote, with the Senate eventually following suit. The people of a State voting for representatives of that State seems like it should carry more weight than a single figurehead. 

I don’t think the Constitution was meant to be a static document so I’m not *necessarily* suggesting a roll back to the text of Article II but enough to bring back the balance that was intended.

You could argue the same exact thing about the (federal) legislature. Look at Wickard v Filburn and its consequences.

Rolling back the powers of the executive would probably just lead to permanent deadlock, if only because 90% of things get done nowadays via executive action.
