Items that can not be taxed by congress?

There are very few specific things that can legally be taxed by the federal government. The specific taxes that Congress may lay and collect includes tariffs, import duties, and some taxes on federally-connected wages and income, but only for federal workers and those who invested in federal instruments. Congress has unlimited taxation authority in the sense that it can make a budget and then send each State a bill for its portion of the bill based on census, but for specific and direct taxes, the Constitution provides very little authority to Congress.

Can the president raise federal income taxes?

According to the Constitution of the United States, the President cannot write legislation, or impose taxes upon the people. Congress is where these powers lay and once passed by both Houses of Congress the President can sign the legislation or veto it. In recent years, the President has been taking some of this power away from Congress and issuing legislation through Executive Orders. Executive Orders is an allowed power given to the President to take action required immediately necessary due to items such as Acts of War or Natural Disasters when Congress is not in session or could not be gathered quick enough to take action. This was done at a time when it took weeks to cross the country but has been taken as an act to bypass Congress when the action would no pass through Congress using the Constitutional methods.
