Powers of Congress Chapter 11

3 types of Congressional Power Expressed powers-spelled out in the Constitution Implied powers-suggested by the Constitution; those necessary and proper to carry out the expressed powers Inherent powers-powers the Constitution is presumed to have delegated to the national gov’t

Strict vs. Liberal Constructionist Strict: Congressional powers should be limited to expressed powers and implied powers that are needed to carry out duties. Federal Gov’t with very limited powers. Liberal: Congressional powers should be interpreted in a broad manner. Federal Gov’t with strong powers.

Money and Commerce Over 90% of the revenue of the federal gov’t comes from taxes 2 kinds of taxes: direct and indirect Direct tax-paid directly by the person Indirect tax-paid by one person and passed on to others

Money and Commerce Constitution allows Congress to borrow money. Federal gov’t practiced debt financing, or spending more money than it took in and borrowing to make up the difference Led to a large public debt Debt clock/Current debt over 15 trillion

Money and Commerce Congress has the power to regulate trade. Also has the power to coin money. Congress can make laws about bankruptcy.

Congress’s Expressed Powers of Money and Commerce Money: tax, spend, coin money, borrow money, set bankruptcy laws Commerce: regulate interstate commerce, regulate international trade

Expressed Powers of Congress Declare war Raise and support an army and navy Make naturalization laws Establish a postal system Set up federal courts Protect the works of writers and inventors Fix weights and measures Acquire, manage, and sell federal lands

Implied Powers Originate with the “Necessary and Proper Clause” Also called the Elastic Clause Example: Constitution says nothing about education, but Congress appropriates money for education each year.

Nonlegislative Powers House may elect a President if no candidate wins a majority of the electoral votes. House has the power to impeach the President. Senate serves as the judge for the trial. Senate can advise the executive branch and approve appointments and treaties made by the President. Congress can investigate anything that falls within its reach.
