Julian Zelizer : Joe Biden's departure may represent the last gasp of the founders' view of a presidential-congressional balance.

For over a century , Congress ’s power has been eroding, Zelizer says.

He says it's hard to imagine any future president, or even congressional leaders, having any interest in reversing the growing executive branch power expansions.

Zelizer writes that the president was originally a secondary figure in government, with the focus of his powers being foreign and military affairs.

Trump is part of a century -long attempt to empower the presidency and the courts at the expense of Congress , Joshua Spivak says.

Any hope that Biden could reverse this slide is long gone, he says, and Congress will not see a return to glory for Congress .
