FDR unquestionably did a huge amount of damage to the US Constitution. For example, read up on the expansion of the ICC, which only began to be trimmed back in 1992. He virtually broke the Judiciary to his will, because they didn't have the balls to face down the Constitutional Crisis he was precipitating. The only President that I can think of who routinely pissed on the Constitution more frequently and completely than FDR is Lincoln.
