The power that has been deemed “necessary and proper” typically refers to the powers interpreted under the Necessary and Proper Clause (also known as the Elastic Clause) of the U.S. Constitution. This clause allows Congress to create laws that are deemed necessary and proper to carry out its enumerated powers.

Therefore, the answer is: the power to institute a draft.
