The critique about the New Deal conveyed by the cartoon is that "Roosevelt was overreaching his executive power for New Deal programs." The imagery of Roosevelt eagerly holding a pot labeled "Reorganization Program" with a focus on "POWER" suggests that he is seeking more authority or control, which can imply a concern about the extent of his executive power in implementing New Deal initiatives.
Use the cartoon to answer the question.
Franklin Roosevelt holds a large pot labeled "Reorganization Program" with the word "POWER" sketched on the inside. He is saying "More, please!" A small chef labeled "Congress" holds a ladle and is standing in front of a steaming kettle almost as big as Roosevelt's pot.
