The Constitution specifically grants Congress its most important power â the authority to make laws. A bill, or proposed law, only becomes a law after both the House of Representatives and the Senate have approved it in the same form. The two houses share other powers, many of which are listed in Article I, Section 8.
The Constitution provides that Congress has the power to impose taxes and borrow money to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defense and general Welfare of the United States. This authority is generally referred to as the Power of the Purse, meaning the power to control what money is raised by the national government and how it is spent. Each year, the Congress raises and spends almost two trillion dollars.
