Question

Question: Give a specific example of a power the legislative branch has, and how has it been exercised today. One to two sentences.

Answer 1

One specific example of the power of the legislative branch is to lay and collect taxes. This is being exercised by the passage of Tax laws and the establishment of the IRS.

How does Congress exercise its taxation powers?

Congress passes several acts that have to do with taxation such as the Tax Reform Act of 1986 which govern how both people and companies are taxed.

The enforcement of these laws is possible thanks to the establishment of the Internal Revenue Service after the 16th Amendment was ratified.
