The U.S. Constitution consists of lots of statements that grant the federal government powers. These statements have logical implications. Logically valid implications of the enumerated powers ought to be constitutional, right? It would be absurd to say the Department of the Air Force is unconstitutional even though there is no explicit mention of the federal government being granted the power to have said department. Should there be 50 different states with their own departments of the Air Force?
