Congress cannot declare laws unconstitutional.
The Judiciary Branch may declare a law unconstitutional only if it conflicts with some provision of the State or Federal Constitution. The Supreme Court can rule a law to be unconstitutional, but Congress, along with the States, can only amend the Constitution.

In the US Constitution are the power to tax and the power to declare laws unconstitutional expressed powers of the Congress?
The power to tax is an expressed power of Congress and the power to declare laws unconstitutional is not. Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution is a list of Congress' powers. The first sentence of the first paragraph begins: "The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Inposts and Excises, . . ." The Constitution does not address the issue of declaring laws unconstitutional at all. The Supreme Court decided that judges in the federal courts had the authority to determine whether federal laws were allowable under the Constitution in 1804 in the case of Marbury vs. Madison, when they decided a law had no force or effect because it was not proper under the Constitution.
