Explanation

The Constitution does not specifically name a national bank as one of Congress’s powers. However, Congress can use implied powers under the Necessary and Proper Clause to carry out its express powers, such as collecting taxes and regulating commerce. Establishing a national bank is therefore an implied power of Congress.
