Legal Definitions - implied power

Implied power is a political power that is not specifically listed in a constitution or law, but is necessary to carry out an express power. For example, the power to regulate the internet is not specifically listed in the US Constitution, but it is necessary for Congress to regulate interstate commerce, which is an express power listed in the Constitution.

Another example is the implied power of the President to issue executive orders. While the Constitution does not specifically mention executive orders, they are necessary for the President to carry out their express power to enforce laws.

Overall, implied power is a power that is not explicitly stated, but is necessary to carry out other powers that are explicitly stated.
