This is a Constitutional power of Congress.?

a - it takes a 2/3 majority of both houses of congress to override a Presidential veto.\n\npardons are given by a president through his executive powers, a mandate is more or less an "ok" to continue or go forward with something, and a line-item veto is a tool allowed for governors in some states (the President does not have that power) where they can sign the legislation but take out a section they don't want (that could be overridden).

It is misleading to say that the courts expanded the federal government's power through the Fourteenth Amendment.  The federal government did this -- all three branches.  In fact, Congress and the President have much, much more influence in such things than the federal courts do.\n\nIt was Congress, not the Courts, that passed the Fourteenth Amendment.  The Fourteenth Amendment by its own terms requires that the States ensure their inhabitants the basic rights that come with being American citizens.  It basically says that States can guarantee their citizens a HIGHER degree of liberty than the US Constitution does, but not a LOWER degree of liberty.  The courts have enforced the amendment Congress passed and the laws Congress passed to enforce the amendment.  Some of the most notable issues where the Fourteenth Amendment was used to challenge state laws have been in voting rights, in education, and in the rights of those accused of crimes.\n\nCongress and the President, though, have done a thousand times more to expand the role of the federal government vis a vis the states.

There is authority in the Bill of Rights to protect you from forced consent to certain things (search and seizure, quartering troops, etc).  But anything else is up for argument.

The authority of the Constitution was established after it was ratified by the (I believe it had to be 7 of the 13)Thirteen States. What isn't expressly given to the Federal Government is implied to go to the states.  The 3 branches had their own powers that check and balance each other out

Congress.  President can deploy troops in certain, specific instances without the consent of Congress.

Under the Constitution, it has a fair amount of power, as such.   It can make war, tax the people, regulate the economy, blah, blah, blah.  Historically, though, the Federal Government has usurped enormous powers that would normally be delegated to the states.

This is the insanity of giving anyone power.  The American Constitution is meant to restrain the power of the state and the government by protecting individual Rights as sacrosanct and inviolate.  However, too often the government and state have colluded to convince and coerce people into surrendering a Right for a government permit or state-given benefit in the name of greater "security".  This is a form of fraud, and is clearly taking advantage of a electorate that is too stupid, thanks to continually dumbed-down ciriculums, to know better.  There's a sucker born every minute, which means there are billions of them on the face of this globe.

The legislative branch of the government was given several powers under the Constitution. The may lay and collect taxes,regulate commerce with other nations and among the states,declare war,raise an army and navy,coin money. They may also impeach the president and members of the federal judiciary. Another big power of the legislative branch is to make laws that are necessary and proper to carry out it's enumerated powers(the ones listed above). This power is found in the necessary and proper clause.
