favors a strong president and the necessary and proper clause

The correct response would be: "favors a very limited role for the national government." A strict constructionist believes that the Constitution should be interpreted exactly as it is written and that the federal government should only have the powers explicitly granted to it in the Constitution. They do not support any additional powers or interpretations beyond what is specifically mentioned in the document.
