     such as those that must be adhered to under this Act. Article 
     I, Section 8, Clause 8 of the United States Constitution 
     grants Congress the power to ``make all Laws which shall be 
     necessary and proper for carrying into Execution'' the powers 
     granted to them under Article I, Section 8 and those granted 
     to the president under Article II, Section 2.
