What is meant by expressed national powers?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 3

The majority of the expressed powers of the national U.S. government are found in Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution. They include things like the power to collect taxes and regulate commerce.

Answer 4

Expressed powers are powers that are stated in the constitution while implied are vaguely relevant and can be assumed to be stated. The elastic clause grants congress a set of implied powers that are not explicitly named in the constitution, but are assumed to exist because they are necessary to implement the expressed powers named in article 1.
