The President reacted to the actions of congress by vetoing the law or signing onto it. The role of the traditional presidency was less, and the size of the executive branch was a great deal smaller than what it is today. The president operated without a personal staff, and had a small role in diplomacy and foreign policy compared to today's standard. There is a period between the traditional presidency and modern period, this is referred to as the Transition Period. Factors that lead to this transition period include the Spanish American War (1898) when the U.S gained colonial possessions in Cuba, Guam, Philippines etc making America a country of colonial power and territories. Another factor was WWI when the United States joined in 1917.
