they both serve different functions, internal and external to the US. Depends on the matter and location.

per The Discovery Channel: To US and non-US citizens alike, the FBI and the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) are often confused, due in no small part to the inaccurate references often portrayed in Hollywood films. The main difference is that the CIA has no law enforcement function. Rather, it collects and analyses information, which is vitally important to U.S. policy, particularly in areas that impact the security of the nation. The CIA collects information only regarding foreign countries and their citizens. It is prohibited from collecting information regarding "U.S. Persons," a term which includes U.S. citizens, resident aliens, legal immigrants, and U.S. corporations, regardless of where they are located.

Yeh, as Esteban says, different functions. FBI generally deals with matters that are internal security, CIA from threats outside the US, although the lines of jurisdiction in modern day crime has become blurred, what with the import of firearms and drugs, the FBI now operates outside the US, and with threats to the US coming into the US as 'sleepers', the CIA operates frequently within what could be considered FBI jurisdiction. Authority-wise, it's not really a case of power, it's alot of politics, like whose in Mr President's good books etc. from what i know, and thats a fairly limited amount.

neither as they are two different branches that serve two different functions the FBI deals with US citizens and the CIA deals with international. as for one having more authority that would depend on if their functions cross and which area is being sided with. Meaning if a US problem occurs that deals with international boundaries then the CIA is in charge. Otherwise the two have nothing to do with each other.
