Question

1. president trump feels that the income tax is to low and has asked congress to raise it by legislative action. congress has refused to act on his request, so he announced that by his executive control over the internal revenue service, he would issue an executive order that is going to raise the rate of income tax three percent with or without congress. can he do this?

Explanation:

In the United States, the power to levy and collect taxes is a legislative power vested in Congress by the Constitution. The President does not have the unilateral executive - order power to raise income tax rates. Executive orders are used to manage the operations of the federal government and implement existing laws, not to create new tax laws.

Answer:

No
