Article I, Section 1 settles it: all legislative powers granted by the Constitution are vested in a Congress of the United States, made up of a Senate and a House of Representatives. Lawmaking is therefore reserved to one bicameral body, and a bill needs both chambers. The words 'herein granted' also signal that Congress holds only the powers the document gives it, not a general power to legislate on anything.
