where does congress draw its constitutional enumerated powers from?
the constitution
the enumerated powers act is a proposed law that would require all bills introduced in the u.s. congress to include a statement setting forth the specific constitutional authority under which each bill is being enacted. from the 104th congress to the 111th congress, u.s. congressman john shadegg introduced the enumerated powers act, although it has not been passed into law. at the beginning of the 105th congress, the house of representatives incorporated the substantive requirement of the enumerated powers act into the house rules.

enumerated powers (united states)
beginning with randolph's outline, the committee added numerous provisions that the convention had never discussed, but which were not likely to be controversial. examples include the speech and debate clause and provisions organizing the house and senate. three of the committee's changes fundamentally reconstituted the national government. the first change replaced the open-ended grant of powers to congress with a list of enumerated powers. this was due to rutledge, who wanted a strong national government but not one with indefinite powers. many of these eighteen enumerated powers came from the articles of confederation. by this, the committee made the new national government one of limited powers, despite opposition among most delegates.
