The power to make laws that are necessary and proper is granted to Congress by the Constitution of the United States, specifically in Article I, Section 8. This clause, often referred to as the Necessary and Proper Clause or the Elastic Clause, allows Congress to enact legislation that is not explicitly outlined in the Constitution but is essential for carrying out its enumerated powers.
