it is known as the "Elastic Clause".
The Necessary and Proper Clause basically says that Congress can pass new amendments if needed. They don't have to just stick with the original Constitution. Therefore it's also called the Elastic Clause because it allows Congress a bit more flexibility within the Constitution. They can literally stretch the interpretation of it to allow for new legislation should the situation call for it.
Powers which are assumed to belong to the federal government under the elastic clause are called implied powers. The elastic clause allows Congress to pass laws that are â??necessary and properâ?? to exercise the powers that are specified in the Constitution.

Article I Section 8, the final paragraph. Congress has the right "To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof." Basically, this is called the "Necessary and Proper Clause," and it allows Congress to make any laws it deems necessary and/or proper. Kind of like a way Congress can just make any law and Congress can say, "well, it's necessary! It's proper! We're doing it!"
