3. Should the executive branch (the president) be able to expand its power during a
major economic crisis?

The executive branch only has powers that it can use to influence economic decision during crisis but can not expand it.

Explanation:

It must however be stated that the executive branch should be empowered and allowed to expand its constitutional powers so as to take proactive measures to stem down the crisis that might hit the nation so bad. The issue of waiting for deliberation by the congress may lead to delay as a result of different views from different political parties.

If the executive is allowed to expand its powers during economic crisis, the damage that ought to have been done might be slow down and bring back to normality based on the fact that the executive with its board members , parastatal , ministries are the ones that will be initiating and executing various policies to be adopted.
