Answer

The Senate can oppose its Bill

Step-by-step explanation

The Founding Father intended Congress to be the preeminent branch of government that seats at center of national power.

The enumerated powers that the Constitution explicitly grants Congress are power to declare war and levy taxes.

Article 1, Section 9 of the Constitution has the important limits on Congress and its power. The Congress cannot;

Pass Ex Post Facto Laws

• Pass Bills of Attainder, that punish people outside of the court system

• Suspend the Writ of Habeas Corpus.
