The Elastic clause is in the constitution which says that the government can do anything "Necessary and proper"
It gives powers to Congress that allow the government to meet new challenges.
Congress' powers are listed in Article one of the Constitution. Specific powers are enumerated in section eight. Congress has expressed powers that are written in the Constitution and implied powers that are not expressed.
It would be impossible to list "implied powers," as they're flexible and designed to fit circumstances as they arise. Implied Powers are those not enumerated by the Constitution (but not prohibited by it, either), but necessary to carry out government functions and responsibilities that arespecifically mentioned.
Article 1 Section 8 of the Constitution of the United States lists eighteen "enumerated powers" of the Congress. The 9th and 10th Amendments, as part of the Bill of Rights, specifically limit the Congress from taking actions that are not explicitly authorized, stating that powers not listed are reserved to the People or to the States.
The Constitution's division of powers leaves the President with some exclusive powers as Commander-in-Chief, Congress with certain other exclusive powers, and a sort of "twilight zone" of concurrent powers. Congress also has the power to limit the powers of the President.The Constitution describes the powers of Congress more than those of the president because initially Congress was supposed to rule the country while the president didn't do much.

implied powers
Implied powers allow Congress to execute anything they see as necessary and proper, and it doesn't need to fall under the expressed powers of the Constitution.

Implied powers are what allow Congress to creatively expand its reach and power. Alexander Hamilton used the argument of implied powers to justify the creation of a national bank.

Implied powers allow the congress to have more powers because they were hinted in the consitution. Such as when they are allowed to make banks because of the power they have to manage money. It is implied that they can have a national bank.
The Constitution states the powers of Congress.

Expressed powers are powers of Congress specifically listed in the Constitution.
These powers are referred to as implied powers, powers that are not explicitly granted to Congress in the U.S. Constitution. The opposite would be expressed powers.
