Answer 1

When Congress claims an implied power, it is supposed to be grounded in the Necessary and Proper Clause of the Constitution, which allows Congress to make laws that are necessary and proper for executing its enumerated powers. This means that Congress must demonstrate that the implied power is related to and supports the implementation of its explicitly granted powers. Additionally, any claim to implied powers may be subject to judicial review to ensure that it is consistent with the Constitution and does not overreach the limits of Congressional authority.
