1 Powers of Congress Expressed, Implied, and Non-Legislative
2 What are the basic powers of Congress? w Under the Constitution, Congress has three (3) sets of powers: n n n Expressed Powers: Powers specifically written out in the Constitution (Article I) Implied Powers: Powers that are suggested in the Constitution Non-Legislative Powers: Things Congress does to help the country run smoother
3 Congress shall have the power to tax What does it mean to tax? Taking public money for government use. Why is it important? Pays for many public services that serve and protect citizens. (Schools, Roads, Military, etc..)
4 What types of taxes are out there? 1. Tariffs- taxes levied against imported goods To encourage the buying of American made products over foreign product
5 What types of taxes are out there? 2. Direct Taxes- paid by the person they are levied against. Examples: Income Tax 3. Indirect Taxes- paid by one person and passed on to another. Examples: Sales Tax
6 Congress shall have the power to regulate commerce This means? They can regulate foreign and interstate trade. (power is very vague) Ex: Setting a minimum wage
7 Congress shall have the power to coin money The Currency Power includes: 1. Coining money = determining the types of currency to use and to make it (i.e. coins, bills)
8 For bills (present)-
9 For Bills (Past) **All large denominations were out of circulation by 1969.
10 The Currency Power also includes: 2. Regulating the worth of paper money In the past, they backed the bills with precious metals (silver, gold, etc.), thus given it value. What does that mean? Basically, you could (in theory) trade it in for certain amount of silver or gold. **Today it is accepted that the US dollar has value. (no standard is needed)
11 Congress has the power to borrow Borrowing involves: using money to finance projects that are not in the budget. There is no Constitutional ceiling on how much can be borrowed. Borrowing leads to: DEBT!!
12 Whose debt is it? It is owned by the Federal government., but private citizens can buy some of the debt Other countries can also buy debt (credit) Why can t we just print more money? Inflation: more supply lessens the value
13 Congress shall form uniform laws concerning bankruptcy When someone declares bankruptcy, they: Can t pay their debt!! Congress has passed laws that protect both creditors and debtors
14 Congress will establish a uniform Rule of Naturalization Naturalization: Process of becoming a US citizen Natural born = born in US territory or on US owned property, or to a US citizen. Naturalized = citizenship gained from another country.
15 Congress has the power to establish Post Offices and post Roads Congress sets up post offices (over 39,000 today) Establishes mail routes (including airways, railroads, and waterways)
16 They also determine what can be legally carried in the mail and crimes related to the mail. *All mail crimes are federal crimes EX: tampering with mail, use mail to commit fraud, damaging federal mailboxes.
