Article I, Section 8, Clause 18 of the Constitution is the Necessary and Proper Clause.
"To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof."
Does that mean Congress can pass any law which they think is necessary? Enter the new law, H.R.3684 - Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. In Section 24220, Congress "finds" it necessary to require new cars to include drunk and impaired driving technology. The question we should all have asked was, is that a power vested in the government of the United States?
