yes
They are undefined because the structure and system of their power isn't clearly laid out in the Constitution. The Constitution clearly defines the Presidency, the Congress, and the Judicial system for the federal government. However, those that support the three branches aren't spelled out; this has allowed the three branches to delegate their authority to these groups (whether for good or ill) in order to efficiently improve the functions of government.
If the federal government wasn't in charge it would be a mess. That would mean there would 50 different kinds money and no rules on banks. It falls to the federal government to make sure the money is good for the United States and overseas.
It is good for the federal government to have special powers in order to uphold the constitution. If there was no central government, some state governments would treat citizens unfairly.
a government too weak to do harm also cannot do good.
You are asking about nearly 200 years of government. Today there are more advisors for the president and more cabinet members. Education didn't have a cabinet position until 1989 and with each cabinet come people working for the member holding that office. The amount of people is not necessarily an indication of a overloaded bureaucracy, but many of these people are experts in their areas. Good example of this is the state department. Many people working for state have been eliminated, but these were people who had worked across many presidents to insure that the government could deal with other nations and foreign affairs/governments. They have years of background and needed insight that we now need desperately.
The Federal government of the United States operates as a system of interconnected departments and agencies to deal with the administration of government programs. The term "bureaucracy" (which might mean "government by the deskholders") applies to the slow, inefficient, and sometimes counter-productive process by which agencies handle the legal and operational details of their assigned services. Because the individual employees are tasked with limited and specific duties, they are often unable or unwilling to correct deficiencies which may result in hardship to affected citizens. Phrases such as "paper pushers" and "red tape" are common when describing the many intractable processes of government.

Good luck! Get a good attorney.
A central government department is a bureaucracy that exists in a centralized body but carries on the business of governing a larger body. The United States Congress is a good example of a central government department.
A good and well trained bureaucracy is necessary to run a good government. The so-called "civil service" concept was well defined in ancient Rome, and it has been a part of governments up until the present day. Clerical support, middle mangers & supervisory personnel are needed to run government programs, help with tax collecting and aid the judicial branches of government. The problem over the years is that all too often civil servants become inefficient due to the fact the bureaucracy must have a firm belief that they won't be fired when political parties change. This can be corrected with good training and dedicated personnel who believe that they are not just working for the current political party in charge, but are working for all the citizens.

Probably the best example of a federal government in the Middle East is the government of Iran. Iran is a federal state made up of numerous distinct provinces. There is a lot of legal interplay between the provinces and the government of the whole country.

Because they were hot.
