The "sweeping clause", as the term was used by the Founders:
"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. "
Wasn't this the clause you referred to?

As I said, I commend your remarks- I merely wished them not to be misunderstood.
