This clause is called the elastic clause. Obviously, the Framers of the Constitution could not include every single power Congress had, for that would be infinite, but by saying this, they can allow Congress to make anything that will help the nation as a whole, even if it is not specifically given to them in the list of powers.

The Elastic Clause allows Congress to take any action they deem necessary and proper for the benefit of the country. This is found in Article 1 of the U.S. Constitution.
