Expressed Powers in the United States

Expressed Powers in the Legislative Process

Powers explicitly granted to Congress by the US Constitution (as opposed to implied powers, which are powers not specifically named in the Constitution but reasonably inferred to be “necessary and proper” to carry out the expressed powers). The most important of the expressed powers include the power to tax, to borrow, to allocate spending, to regulate commerce and currency, and to declare war.
