Lawmaking is the major power of Congress as there can be bills passed by the Houses of the Congress. However, there has to be approval provided by the Senate as well as the House of Representatives of the Congress to ensure the conversion of a bill into a law. Budgetary/financial aspects of the government like paying debts, imposition/collection of taxes, etc. are done by Congress. The role of Congress is to ensure general welfare of the country and provision of required amenities for the members of the common defense.
