That is the way our government is set up. Trouble is, the Presidents always seem to find a way around the law. President Obama, as an example, is the worst President ever in terms of taking others' powers for himself.
Recently, he even tried to get around the Supreme Court. That was a bad mistake, as the Justices did not care for Obama's actions, at all!
no - it is the other way around. All powers not explicitly given to the federal government belong to the states.
Yes. Says so in the Tenth Amendment.
Delegated powers
There are many powers not given to the Federal government in the Constitution. Specifically it states that any power not specifically granted to the government will be reserved for the States (interpreted as for the people).
government
Powers not specifically given to the federal government by the Constitution but which are logically related, or required, to exercise enumerated powers are called implied or inherent powers. They are also sometimes referred to as unenumerated powers.
Expressed Powers
expressed powers
powers specifically listed (enumerated). In American governement, it means powers specifically granted to different branches of the Federal government in the Constitution.
Enumerated powers are the powers granted to the Federal Government by the U.S. Constitution. The clause explicitly enumerates all of the powers the Federal Government should have, and their powers are limited to those listed in the clause.
Delegated powers

The state governments retain all powers not specifically delegated to the federal government. So, as you see, it is other way around.Hence, the answer to this question is ' NO, it does not.' This is FALSE.
No, actually the reverse. The Constitution states that all powers not specifically granted to the Federal Government are reserved for the state.
