Answer:

The US Constitution assigns authority to the federal (national) government as a whole and to each of the branches of government. Those given to the federal government, in general, are referred to as express(ed) powers.

Express(ed) Powers: Powers allowed to the federal government.
Denied Powers: Powers explicitly denied to the federal government.
Enumerated or Delegated Powers: Powers given to a branch of government.
