Straight from the Constitution
Clause one is a "vesting clause," similar to other clauses in Articles One and Three, but it vests the power to execute the instructions of Congress, which has the exclusive power to make laws; "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." The important distinction between the vesting clause in Article I and this Vesting Clause is that this one is Plenary (i.e., it implies the power the executive to fall in line with what other "executives" around the world at the time could do) whereas the power vested in Article I is subject to limits to be outlined in later sections.
Connection with Consitution
This article is called "Obama, allies ready health care blitz". The authors are Sarah Kliff and Jennifer Haberkorn. Obama has recently signed a new law giving all U.S. citizens affordable health care. What this means is your health care will be enough so that you can pay for it according to your income and family size. This article states that "This month’s new restrictions include some of the health care overhaul’s most consumer-friendly and popular changes, such as no co-pays for preventive care in new insurance plans and bans on denying coverage to children and taking away coverage from anyone when they get sick." I think this law that Obama and Congress has passed is great because it will help lots of people finaialcially.
