Congressional Powers

Powers of Congress

Congress mainly gets their power from the U.S. Constitution. The powers exlicitly stated in the Constituiton are known as enumerated powers. Furthermore, the necessary and proper clause grants more powers to Congress that aren't explicitly stated in the Constitution. Finally, Congress also gains power from Supreme Court decisions, the media, and citizens. The Enumerated Powers of Congress grant Congress specific powers in national security, economic, juducual, regulatory, and administrative fields.
