When has congress allowed expansion of a presidents economic power?

Congress has historically expanded a president's economic power during times of crisis, such as during the Great Depression with the New Deal, where Congress granted FDR broad authority to implement economic reforms. Similarly, after the 9/11 attacks, Congress passed the USA PATRIOT Act, which enhanced executive power in various areas, including financial oversight. Additionally, the 2008 financial crisis saw Congress granting the Treasury Department significant authority to stabilize the economy through measures like the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP). These instances illustrate how Congress can empower the executive branch to respond effectively to economic challenges.
