That’s the problem with the fascist progressives...POTUS answers to the American people! Your evaluation of the Congress is, well......wrong, bloated, and overestimated.

To coin money, set its value, and punish counterfeiting.
To fix the standard of weights and measures.
To establish a post office and post roads.
To issue patents and copyrights to inventors and authors.

To define and punish piracies, felonies on the high seas, and crimes against the law of nations.
To declare war.
To raise and support an army and navy and make rules for their governance.
To provide for a militia (reserving to the states the right to appoint militia officers and to train the militia under congressional rule).
To exercise exclusive legislative powers over the seat of government (that is, the District of Columbia) and over places purchased to be federal facilities (forts, arsenals, dockyards, and "other needful buildings.")
To "make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for the carrying into execution the foregoing powers, and all other powers vested by this Constitution in the government of the United States."
