Explanation:

First Question (Article I, Section 8 Power)

Expressed powers are those directly stated in the Constitution. The power to regulate foreign commerce is explicitly listed in Article I, Section 8, so it’s an expressed power. Implied powers are derived (not stated), denied powers are forbidden, and concurrent powers are shared (not relevant here).

The lawmaking process starts with a bill being proposed (by either house). Then it goes to committees for work (markup, hearings). Next, it’s debated and voted on in the house. Finally, it goes to the president for signing or veto. So the correct order is propose → committee work → debate/vote → president action.

Answer:

A. expressed power
