So an amendment for every law change? Interesting idea

Yep.

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.

This clause gives congress the authority to pass laws necessary to carry out the powers vested in the Federal government by the constitution and nothing further.

If you would read through the powers of congress grante by the constitution you will not find any power where the legislature is given the power to redefine words in the constitution to suit their whims.
