Abstract This article explores the evolving dynamics of American federalism, focusing on the expanding influence of the administrative presidency and the rise of transactional federalism. It examines how recent presidents, particularly Trump and Biden, have utilized executive actions to shape policy, often leading to clashes with state governments. The analysis discusses the impact of the 2024 elections and key Supreme Court decisions about the balance of power between federal and state entities, highlighting the judiciary’s role in both limiting and expanding federal and state authority. The article also discusses various state and local government responses to these presidential actions, which reveals the increasing complexity of intergovernmental relations in the United States.
