Explanation:

To determine which is not a power of the US Congress, we analyze each option:

• Congress has the power of the purse (allocating funds and restricting state use of those funds).
• Congress can use implied powers (reasonable means not prohibited by the Constitution) to carry out its duties.
• Congress has the power to tax (e.g., under the Taxing and Spending Clause).
• The power to declare laws unconstitutional is held by the judicial branch (Supreme Court), not Congress.

Answer:

The power to declare that federal or state laws are unconstitutional
