I think it depends on the president, and how they view the office/ the role of that branch of government.

Think of FDR with the court packing scandal or Nixon who came right out and said as much in his Frost interview. I’d argue that the past two presidents likewise tend towards of view of a stronger office of the president power as the head of the executive branch (unitary theory) as a good and wholly legal thing…
