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.

Hi, thanks for your ?
Hi, thanks for your question. I'm happy to help. I assume you're talking about the U.S. Government. There are three branches: the Executive, which is President Obama and the people/departments who report to him; the Legislative, which is congress (the House and Senate); and the Judicial, which consists primarily of the Supreme Court. The Legislature/Congress's job is to pass laws: to define the legal framework of the United States. The Executive/President plays a part in this as well, because of the veto power of the President. The Executive/President's job is to enforce the law as defined by Congress. The Judicial/Supreme Court's job is to interpret the law; specifically to determine whether a given law conflicts with the Constitution, in which case it is invalid. If this answer meets your need, please accept it.
What does the Iraq War have to do with the Constitution?
The Iraq War has nothing to do with the United States Constitution. The war was not declared in defense of the Constitution, to help the Constitution, or to promote any vision of the Constitution. However, there is a debate as to whether the Iraq War is a legal War by the American Definition because there was no formal Declaration of War by Congress, which is required by the Constitution and subsequent Laws of the United States.
