how does congress carry out its work
The Constitution specifically grants Congress its most important power â the authority to make laws. A bill, or proposed law, only becomes a law after both the House of Representatives and the Senate have approved it in the same form. The two houses share other powers, many of which are listed in Article I, Section 8.ll legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives. The House of Representatives shall choose their Speaker and other Officers; and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment.
