Well, there may be a clue as to Obama's plans in the recent hires for his administration. His Solicitor General (the principal government advocate before the Supreme Court) will be Elena Kagan, the dean of Harvard Law (and, according to many, a likely future Supreme Court pick). Her most well-known article argued for increased Presidential power in terms of the various administrative agencies, and, working in the Clinton administration, she frequently advocated for a stronger executive branch.
It may well be that the new President is looking to strengthen the executive branch even further.
