You might want to read the U.S. Constitution, sparky. The people got together and decided these powers exist. The voluntarily voted on it - of their own free will.How do you delegate a right to him that you never had in the first place?
Then it went to the states to “ratify” it. There again, the people approved and it was passed into law. That law states that rather than have the people vote on everything directly (a true democracy), we would have a representative democracy (otherwise known as a republic). That is where the power is derived from. We did have that right. We chose to “outsource” it to representatives.
