What is meant by expressed national powers?

Enumerated powers, also called expressed powers, refers to powers that the federal government has according to the US Constitution. It's a list of tasks, like create a post office, levy/collect taxes, declare war, carry on diplomacy with foreign countries, and so forth, that the Constitution very specifically says that the federal government can do.Some political groups, notably right-wingers like the Tea Party, think that the government should only do exactly those things and nothing else. Some Tea Party members of Congress have been trying for a few years now to make a law that says every time Congress passes a law, they have to specifically state under which enumerated power the law falls under.The problem is that some of these enumerated powers can be used to do lots of things that people may not agree with. Parts of the Constitution like the Commerce Clause (which allows Congress to make laws regarding business and trade that happens in multiple states/countries) and the Elastic Clause (which allows Congress to make laws that are "necessary and proper" for the functioning of the government) are very vague and can be used as justification for lots of things.
