Powers Given to Congress What can Congress Do?

Expressed Powers I. Expressed powers are powers specifically given to Congress in Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution. A. The first 17 clauses of the Constitution are expressed powers B. Examples-Congress can borrow money, declare war, raise an army (these powers are actually written in the Constitution.)

Implied Powers IMPLIED POWERS: powers not specifically written in the Constitution. A. This is Article I, Section 8, Clause 18 and is known as the NECESSARY AND PROPER CLAUSE also called the ELASTIC CLAUSE B. There was no way the writers of the Constitution could put every detail in the document so they added this clause so Congress could make laws in the future. C. Examples-airline regulation, stem-cell research, drug trafficking (these items aren’t mentioned in the original document.

LEGISLATIVE POWERS Any power given to Congress that deals with making laws Examples: laws that deal with spending money, regulating trade, foreign relations.

NON-LEGISLATIVE Any power that does not deal with making laws. Examples-removal of government officials, investigations, making an amendment

POWERS DENIED TO CONGRESS Article I, Section 9- There are certain things Congress cannot do
