Yes, the U.S. Congress has the power to impose and enforce taxes as outlined in the Constitution. Specifically, Article I, Section 8 grants Congress the authority to levy taxes, duties, imposts, and excises. Additionally, the Sixteenth Amendment, ratified in 1913, explicitly allows Congress to levy an income tax without apportioning it among the states. This power is essential for funding government operations and services.
Congress itself created and appointed executives, judges, and military officers. It also had the power to make war and peace, conduct foreign affairs, and borrow and print money. But Congress could not collect taxes or enforce laws drectly; it had to rely on the states to provide money and enforce its laws.
