The exact text of the Elastic Clause (also known as the Necessary and Proper Clause) is: "The Congress shall have Power ... 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."

Therefore, a strict interpretation of the Elastic Clause would mean that Congress could pass any laws out of their list of enumerated powers.
