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.

The impeachment process is outlined in detail in Article II, Sections 4-5, detailing the grounds for removal and the procedure to follow.
