Default Obama as president: The Commander and Thief

Larry,

Article I sec.8 gives Congress the power to levy taxes. Taxes on income
have been levied several times in US history. The 16th Amendment to the
Constitution passed in 1913 reaffirms Congress's right to collect income
taxes. The US Tariff Act of 1913 then levied an income tax. The actual
minutia is the IRS codes.
