How does the Reorganization Act represent the growth of the informal powers of the president?Give your answer in the form of a short paragraph.
The Reorganization Act of 1939 represents the expansion of the president's informal powers by allowing the executive branch to grow alongside the nation's needs. Because the federal government had become more complex, the act authorized the president to hire additional staff and create the Executive Office of the President. This provided the president with the necessary advisers and administrative support to oversee and manage numerous departments, effectively increasing the president's control and influence over the federal bureaucracy.
