Editing Necessary and Proper Clause (section)

==Name of the clause==
The specific term "Necessary and Proper Clause" was coined in 1926 by [[Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States|Associate Justice]] [[Louis Brandeis]], writing for the majority in the Supreme Court decision in ''[[Lambert v. Yellowley]],'' 272 U.S. 581 (1926), which upheld a law restricting [[alcohol (medicine)|medicinal use of alcohol]] as a necessary and proper exercise of power under the 18th Amendment, which established [[Prohibition in the United States|Prohibition]].

The phrase has become the label of choice for this constitutional clause. It was universally adopted by the courts and received Congress's imprimatur in [[Title 50 of the United States Code]], Section 1541(b) (1994), in the purpose and policy of the [[War Powers Resolution]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/50/1541- |title=US CODE: Title 50,1541.
