∙ 14y agoBefore we go any further, we must determine what is meant by the phrase "expressed powers." An expressed power (often referred to as an enumerated power) is a power or authority held by someone or some thing as a result of a specific grant of that power or authority. More simply stated, an enumerated power of Congress is a power or authority held by Congress because it was expressly given to Congress. The enumerated powers enjoyed by the United States Congress are derived from the Constitution of the United States. As you know, the Constitution begins with the preamble which, if memory serves me correctly goes as follows: We the people, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity do hereby ordain and establish this Constitution of the United States of America. The preamble is immediately followed by Article 1 which contains 10 sections. Some of these sections contain many clauses. This is the source of most of Congresses enumerated powers. Article II of the Constitution deals primarily with the executive branch. However, within Article II, Congress is given additional authorities such as section 1, paragraph 4 which provides, inter alia, that "Congress may determine the Time of chusing [sic] the Electors ..." (as in the electors of the electoral college). Congress also derives the remainder of its enumerated powers from some of the 27 amendments.
