The power to create an air force is NOT an expressed power of Congress.
To determine which of the options is NOT an expressed power of Congress, let's break down the options and explain how to identify expressed powers.
Expressed powers, also known as enumerated powers, are the powers explicitly granted to Congress in the United States Constitution. These powers are specifically listed in the Constitution, in Article I, Section 8.
Let's go through the options:
1. Power to tax and spend: This is an expressed power of Congress. According to Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution, Congress has the authority to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts, and excises, as well as to provide for the general welfare by spending money.
2. Power to regulate interstate commerce: This is also an expressed power of Congress. Article I, Section 8 grants Congress the authority to regulate commerce among the several states.
3. Power to create a military draft: This is an expressed power of Congress as well. The power to regulate and raise armies, including the authority to institute a draft, is granted to Congress in Article I, Section 8.
4. Power to create an air force: This option is NOT an expressed power of Congress. While Congress has the authority to provide and maintain a Navy, as stated in Article I, Section 8, there is no explicit mention of creating an air force in the Constitution.
Therefore, the option "Power to create an air force" is the correct answer as it does not fall under the expressed powers of Congress.
