All legislative powers “herein granted” are vested in the Congress of the United States , which consists of the Senate and the House of Representatives.

Quick Scoop: What this means

  • The phrase comes from Article I, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution.
  • It clearly states that the law‑making (legislative) authority of the federal government belongs to Congress, not to the President or the courts.
  • Congress is bicameral:
    • The House of Representatives (based on population).
    • The Senate (two senators per state).

In simple terms: when the Constitution says “All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States,” the answer to “all legislative powers were be vested in whom?” is the Congress of the United States (Senate and House of Representatives).

TL;DR: All legislative powers are vested in the U.S. Congress, made up of the Senate and the House of Representatives.
