Chief Justice John Marshall, in writing the Supreme Court's unanimous decision in support of Congress' constitutional authority to establish a national bank, acknowledged that the national government was limited to powers enumerated in the Constitution (expressed powers), but stated that Article I also allowed the national government (Congress) to pass such laws "necessary and proper" to carry out powers and duties enumerated by the Constitution.

That's about as settled a law as we have.
