According to the quote

"My view was that every executive officer . . . was a steward of the people. . . . I declined to adopt the view that what was imperatively necessary for the nation could not be done by the president unless he could find some specific authorization to do so"

we can say that President Roosevelt believe that the powers of president are given by the people and must respond to the needs of the people.

Step-by-step explanation:

President Roosevelt had a progressive vision of politics and attacked monopolies that accumulated wealth while people suffered economic shortages. During his governments, he promoted that workers' rights are respected and that the workers perform their duties in decent and well-paid conditions. He is also remembered because he worried about the conservation of nature. All these characteristics may support the quote of his autobiography.
