To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes; To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization, and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States; To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures; To provide for the Punishment of counterfeiting the Securities and current Coin of the United States; ....;
[The US Constitutional Authorities of the US Congress Over the US Armed Forces and Sole Power to Authorize Acts of War and Declare War, Antecedent and In Addition to Its Subsequent Federal Statutory Law Authorities Over New Branches of the Armed Forces]
*****To define and punish Piracies and Felonies committed on the high Seas, and Offences against the Law of Nations; To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water; To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years;
*****To provide and maintain a Navy;
*****To "make Rules" for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces; To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions; (So, the US Congress and members of the US Congress do have the right and authority to speak out and advise members of the US Armed Forces to refuse to obey and carry out an illegal order, also consistent with US Uniform Code of Military Justice, issued by any superior in the armed forces' chain of command, including by the secretary of the Department of Defense and/or the US president or vice president, and the US president is subordinate and subject to its rules of governance of the armed forces.)
*****To provide for organizing, arming, "and disciplining, the Militia," "and for 'governing' such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States," reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, "and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;" (So, again, the US president, even as the US Constitutional commander in chief of the US Armed Forces is, nevertheless, US Constitutionally subordinate and subject to the US Constitutional authority of the US Congress as regards its oversight, regulation, use and legal governance of the US Armed Forces.)
To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, by Cession of particular States, and the Acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of the Government of the United States, and to exercise like Authority over all Places purchased by the Consent of the Legislature of the State in which the Same shall be, for the Erection of Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards, and other needful Buildings;—And
"To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof." (Thus, as the US Constitution explicitly confers all legislative and law-making authority for the USA and its government and governance exclusively on the US Congress, the US president cannot have and has no law-making authority and his or her executive orders (which are policy directives or commands to executive branch personnel for their implementation of them as operational practices or action/s) and military orders (likewise) that pose as law are unlawful, invalid and null and void as well as are subject to adjudication as fraud in a trial when they have or could have adverse consequences. They must comply with both the US Constitution and its law and US Congressional statutory law in order for them to be lawful and valid. If there is a conflict between these two bodies of law, then the presidential executive orders or military orders must comply foremost with the supreme US Constitution and its law, to which all federal government officials, including members of the US Congress and president and vice president, and personnel swear an oath of allegiance to preserve, uphold and defend or one to such an effect.)
Incidentally, the US Congress has additional powers stated in Article III, which is applicable to the federal judiciary, of the US Constitution.
Section 3
The US Supreme Court ruling that a US president cannot be prosecuted for illegalities or crimes that he or she commits, or may commit, in the course of his/her executing his/her official duties is a wrongful judicial ruling as it contradicts the text of the US Constitution itself and so is subject to review and a trial of impeachment and vacating of that ruling itself by an independent prosecutor, and team, and all-states, interstate-state, collective constitutional-review supreme court, composed of a lottery-chosen justice from each of the state supreme courts, commissioned and convened by the US Congress, or its Senate, for impeachment trying of the wrongful SCOTUS ruling violating the text of the US Constitution, in that provision 7 of section 3 of article 1 of the US Constitution in verbatim states:
Section 3: "The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present. 'Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States: but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law'" -- for treason, bribery, or other high crimes or misdemeanors. This prescription, and its language, of the US Constitution makes clear that all government officials, including the US president, are subject to the laws of the United States of America.]
