The necessary and proper clause, also known as the elastic clause (Article I, Section 8, Clause 18 of the U.S. Constitution), allows Congress to make laws that are necessary and proper for carrying out its enumerated powers, thereby increasing its powers beyond those explicitly listed in the Constitution.
