The separation of powers in the Constitution establishes three separate branches of government, the executive, judicial, and legislative. Each has their own special powers. Checks and balances allow each of the three branches to "check" the power of the other two branches to prevent any one branch from becoming too powerful. The president's powers are limited by the power of the other two branches. For example: the Court can rule an action by the president as unconstitutional and the Congress can over-ride a presidential veto.
The longest article in the Constitution vests legislative power in the Senate and the House of Representatives. It describes the organization of Congress and lists its specific powers, known as enumerated or delegated powers. Through the necessary and proper clause (also called the elastic clause), Congress can make laws needed to carry out its enumerated powers. Article I also lists the powers denied to Congress and the states.
Article I of the Constitution covers the legislative branch of the Federal Government, which is Congress. Article I establishes how Congress is structured (House of Representatives and Senate), how representation in each house is determined, the qualifications of office for Representatives and Senators, how a bill becomes a law, the rights, powers and immunities of each house and/or its members, that a census must be taken every ten years, the powers of Congress, the powers denied to Congress, and the powers denied to the states. Article I is also where the Great Compromise is found (concerning representation), as well as the now-defunct Three-Fifths Compromise, which declared a slave to be three-fifths of a white man for purposes of representation in the House of Representatives.
The legislative powers of the federal government are vested in Congress. They are empowered by the Constitution to make the laws.
