That doesn't mean he gets that sudden power
For Congress, yes, not the President.
And since it was an emergency and congress couldn't do it he did it
It’s implied, within the constitution, to be an Legislative Power, not an executive one.
And congress clapped
Congress could do it, that's why his action was unconstitutional in the first place
It was decided that when congress cant president can
Only Congress could do it.
Apparently not
And how does the President magically have this power when it is clearly under the list of Congressional powers?
Otherwise we wouldnt have this conversation
Because the constitution is a living breathing document that can be changed?
No, it isn’t.
Explain amendments
Ill wait
It isn’t something you can change the meaning of immediately on a whim.
He didnt
Amendments are meant to be hard to change and ratify because the Constitution is meant to be a slow-moving document.
And when there is war it can change fast
When vulnerabilities are found to exist
Which is what happened
But it cannot change so suddenly that it ignores it entirely.
It did
Lincoln’s argument makes no sense.
Yes it does
Unless you are a Democrat
Who needs it not to make sense
And it is still Unconstitutional about what he did.
To throw dirt on him
Democrats pander the “living document” shit, Ehzek.
So they support him
Good
Case closed
No, they support your beliefs, you cretin.
Not mine Abes
No, your beliefs.
I never stated my beliefs
Also, Lincoln would be more of a modern progressive than a conservative.
Then you agree with him
Not post-modern, but modern.
