Congressional Powers and Privileges

Our Constitution gives Congress very broad and important powers. The Constitution also gives the President very important, though less expansive powers.

It is apparent that the Founding Fathers clearly wanted Congress to be the most influential branch of our government, yet conflict between Congress and the Presidency over these powers is a recurring theme in our government.

A clear understanding of the powers assigned to Congress and the President by the Constitution is needed in order to critically analyze the conflictual and cooperative relationships between Congress and the Presidency.
