Elastic Clause
Elastic Clause
Congress!!!! ....there is a provision in the constitution called the "necessary and proper clause," which gives Congress the power to tax, print money, declare war, etc.
The elastic clause is not about the power of the constitution, rather, it gives the Legislative branch (or Congress) of the US government power to do whatever they feel is necessary and proper in order to carry out their constitutional duties. It's controversial because some people argue that it allows the Congress to "overstep their bounds" because of how vague it is. Others say that it doesn't give them any added power but instead gives them just what they need to accomplish their "already given" constitutional responsibilities.
The Constitution of the United States, in Article 1, gives the Congress the authority to make laws, but this power is not "unlimited". The Constitution, in Article 1 Section 8, grants the Congress 18 "enumerated powers"; beyond these, the Congress is not authorized to make laws. Additionally, the Bill of Rights has a list of specific restrictions that limit the power of Congress and the Federal government.
