Under your "reading" of the Constitution we have elections only because Congress hasn't yet decided that not having elections will "promote the general welfare".You still have power to control the federal government. It's called elections. The General welfare clause is there because the Founders wanted you to have that power, instead of cramming some enumerated list down your throat.
