The elastic clause, otherwise known as the "necessary and proper" clause, states that Congress can make any laws to execute any powers that they deem as necessary and proper. This is so vague that it is scary. And that is why I posted my poll on this topic. I also connected this all to federalism, in the fact that the Constitution contradicts itself when it gives all other rights not talked about to the states and the people in the tenth amendment, but then gives Congress all this power with the elastic clause. I would love to know your thoughts about this, in the context of both federalism, and personal beliefs.
