Article VI of the U.S. Constitution establishes the concept of "supreme law of the land." The Constitution, laws passed by Congress, and treaties of the United States are supreme to state and local laws.
Congress can borrow money on the credit of the U.S., they can make laws, and they have the power of calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union. They cannot create a notional public school system, require people to vote or attend church, or abolish jury trials.
The primary duty of congress is to enact laws for the nation. The powers of congress are listed in the United States Constitution, Article I, Section 8. These are known as "expressed" or "enumerated" powers because they are listed in the Constitution. Examples are declaring war, regulating commerce, granting copyrights and patents, and levying taxes. The "Elastic Clause" in Article I, Section 8 grants congress the power to make all laws "necessary and proper" to carry out the powers expressed in the Constitution. This "stretches" the power of congress and allows the legislative branch to enact laws as new situations and times occur. Most of the work of congress is carried out by committees and sub committees. These committees investigate and determine what laws, if any, are necessary. They then report back to the Senate or House and the proposed laws (bills) are voted on by all the members. MrV
