Article I, Section 9, of the Constitution places three important limits on Congressional powers. Congress cannot

  • pass ex post facto laws, which outlaw acts after they have already been committed.
  • pass bills of attainder to punish individuals outside of the court system.
  • suspend the writ of habeas corpus, a court order requiring the federal government to charge individuals who committed crimes. Congress can only suspend the writ of habeas corpus during times of national emergency.
