Congress has the power to create statutory law, which is law created by legislative bodies such as Congress. This includes laws passed by Congress and signed into law by the President, as well as regulations created by administrative agencies that are authorized by Congress. Administrative law is the body of law that governs the activities of administrative agencies, which are created by Congress to carry out specific functions. Therefore, Congress has authority over both statutory law and administrative law.
