Answer 2

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

During the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the framers of the Constitution had many debated over the kind of government that the new nation needed. The delegates spent so much time discussing this issue until they reach the consensus that the United States must be federalist. So that is when they decided that the US Constitution should give the following types of power to the government: enumerated powers, implied powers, and inherent powers. So in practical terms, Congress can impeach government officials, including the President; Congress is able to collect money through taxation, Congress has the power to declare war to other nation, to regulate foreign trade, to regulate commerce between the states, to create laws, to support an army, to maintain post offices, to review the annual budget, and to restrict it if it considers it necessary.
