The necessary and proper clause in the Constitution is sometimes referred to as the elastic clause because it allows for the stretching or expansion of the powers of Congress. This clause grants Congress the authority to make laws that are deemed necessary and proper to carry out its other enumerated powers, effectively extending its powers beyond what is explicitly stated in the Constitution. The elastic clause provides flexibility to Congress and allows for the interpretation of its powers to adapt to changing circumstances and needs of the nation.
