One function that Congress has but rarely uses is the authority to repeal bad legislation. Every year thousands of new laws are written and every year merely a few, if any are repealed. Ask yourself, are a multitude of laws required in order to better protect the rights of the individual? Is Congress doing their job if they go through an entire session without passing one bill of legislation? Would our country fall apart if Congress just stopped writing laws for the next several years? It is doubtful our country would fall apart, what is more likely is the oppressive government will begin to crumble, so expect more laws to come. Of course, Congress has the power of legislation but Congress has also been granted the authority to declare war, to regulate commerce with foreign nations and among the states, to borrow money on the credit of the United States, to establish post offices and post roads, and to coin money, or monetary papers. But, of all the limited powers granted Congress it is the power to repeal bad legislation that is the most noble of all. Sadly, it is rarely exercised.

The primary function of the legislative branch is to make laws.

They can also impeach judges and the president. They approve or reject treaties and presidential appointments, establish lower federal courts, and regulate types of appeals. They also determine the number of supreme court judges.

The legislative branch's primary function is the drafting and passing of laws and the collection of taxes. Additionally, they are responsible for declaring war and have to vote in favour of a treaty for it to be recognized by the nation.
