Final answer:

The United States Congress, as outlined in Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution, has the powers to levy and collect taxes, borrow money, regulate commerce, declare war, maintain the army and navy, coin money, manage the postal service, and regulate immigration and naturalization.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) does not have the powers listed in the options provided. However, the question seems to be asking about the powers of the United States Congress. According to the U.S. Constitution, particularly Article I, Section 8, the powers of Congress include the following: levy and collect taxes, borrow money, regulate commerce with other nations and among the states, declare war, raise and support the army and navy, coin money, establish the postal service, and make laws regarding immigration and naturalization. Additionally, Congress has the authority to set up federal courts below the Supreme Court, and enact laws deemed necessary and proper for executing its enumerated powers, sometimes referred to as the 'elastic clause'.
