How have wars, emergencies, and the media contributed to the expansion of presidential powers?

The expansion of presidential powers is seen when the nation goes through challenging times such as wars and major emergencies. For instance, in the Civil War president Abraham Lincoln expanded the military and used government funds to finance it without even asking for Congress approval. He, also, suspended habeas corpus to expand the army and justified it by saying that the emergency of Civil War required him to do so. Media also contributes to the expansion of presidential powers by educating the people about such measures and creating the image of a powerful president.
