The term "Imperial President" is a mildly derogatory term. Imperial usually refers to Britain, which is a Monarchy, albeit a Constitutional Monarchy. An "Imperial President" is one who governs like a Monarch, rather than as a commoner. Imperial Presidents often consider themselves as being "above the law" and as a result they sometimes commit breaches of the law. The prime example of this is Richard Nixon.
Arthur Schlesinger Jr
A. M. Schlesinger has written: 'Imperial presidency'
It's a presidency that's two terms long. A U.S. presidential term lasts four years, so a two-term presidency is an eight-year presidency.
The imperial presidency has expanded the power and influence of the presidency. It has allowed presidents to bypass Congress and implement policies through executive orders and other unilateral actions. This has led to an increase in the use and abuse of executive power, undermining the separation of powers and checks and balances established by the Constitution.
