Why did the constitution specifically describe the powers of the Congress but remain vague about the powers of the president?

The Constitution's division of powers leaves the President with some exclusive powers as Commander-in-Chief, Congress with certain other exclusive powers, and a sort of "twilight zone" of concurrent powers. Congress also has the power to limit the powers of the President.The Constitution describes the powers of Congress more than those of the president because initially Congress was supposed to rule the country while the president didn't do much.


According to the constitution how does congress balance the power of the president?

Checks and balances between Congress and the president are intended to limit the potential powers of both.


What are the powers of Congress that are written into the Constitution called?

Article 1 Section 8 of the Constitution of the United States lists eighteen "enumerated powers" of the Congress. The 9th and 10th Amendments, as part of the Bill of Rights, specifically limit the Congress from taking actions that are not explicitly authorized, stating that powers not listed are reserved to the People or to the States.


If the strict constructionist had won their battle to limit congress's implied powers how might the government be different today?
