I think you can argue that it's become somewhat of a myth lately.

True,

In 1959, James Burnham, in Congress and the American Tradition, pretty much laid out reasons for the decline of Congressional power and the rise of an imperial Executive.

But as The Myth of “Coequal” Branches of the Federal Government goes on to argue,

In 1787 as Delegates to the convention in Philadelphia prepared to meet, it was generally agreed that the government that would work in America was not the British model. The model they followed was the one practiced by the American colonies—the model of legislative supremacy.

...That was the view of the majority of Delegates at the Philadelphia Convention and was summarized by remarks at the Convention on Monday, June 4, of Gunning Bedford, Jr. of Delaware who said that absolutely no check upon the Legislature should be tolerated. “The Representatives of the people were the best Judges of what was for their interest, and ought to be under no external control whatever.”
