Leaving aside the misprint [sure'n we all do it sometimes] "power [right] of attorney" means legal rights over [all or some or one of] one's affairs are handed [willingly or otherwise] to another person.
As example a child can not legally hold a bank account but a parent could open one for the child and deposit and withdraw, your granny could lose her marbles and you might have to look after hewr affairs, you might have a vote at an AGM you can't attend and you could give "Power [right] of Attorney" to a friend to vote for you.
