Understanding U.S. Congressional Powers and Legislative Processes: Key Concepts and Terms

This review explores critical aspects of the U.S. Congress, focusing on Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution, which outlines enumerated powers. It discusses the implications of the Budget & Impoundment Control Act of 1974, legislative veto powers, and the roles of key figures such as the Speaker of the House and Majority Leader. The analysis includes a look at gerrymandering, the seniority system, and processes like cloture and mark-up sessions. Additionally, the review contrasts the influence of committees, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) on policymaking.
