The Constitution grants Congress the power to regulate interstate commerce in Article 1, Section 8, Clause 3. This power has been interpreted broadly by the Supreme Court to include not only the regulation of goods and services but also activities that have an impact on commerce, such as environmental regulation and labor laws. The Constitution does not grant Congress the power to appoint judges or receive ambassadors, which are powers granted to the President.
