Implied powers are powers not specifically spelled out in the Constitution

The definition of the word implied powers is "an implied power is a power that is not specifically authorized in writing, but is assumed because of similar powers which have already been granted in writing. Authoritative actions that aren't specifically granted to Congress in the Constitution but are considered necessary to fulfill governmental duties.

Something that is implied is not said directly, but in context. So, implied powers are powers that are not written in but not left out. It is implied that the president can send troops without going to Congress. This is a gray area and depends on how the item is read and the legal boundaries.
