Man you got as many smarts as a box of rocks. Lamon's own personal papers stated the fact of who issued the warrant.
But his claim is not backed up by a single shred of evidence. Yet you believe it without question. Let me ask you this. Here is a link to a website that quotes from a book claiming that Robert Lee whipped his slaves and had brine poured in the wounds. By your standards this must be true. The author claimed to have seen it. Why would be lie? So what do you think of Lee now?
Article I pertains to the legislative branch of Government.
Very good. I'll let you in on a secret. Article II pertains to the Executive branch and nowhere does it say that the president cannot suspend habeas corpus. Habeas Corpus is a matter of law and in Article III, Section 2 it states....
And if the matter comes before the Supreme Court then it would rule on it. But the Supreme Court does not rule on every piece of legislation passed or every act of the president. It only rules on those that come before it and Lincoln's suspension of habeas corpus was never taken up by the full court. So we don't know for certain if his actions were Constitutional or not.
While we're on the subject of Constitutions, Article III pertains to the Judicial branch and mandates a Supreme Court. Amazingly enough there is also an article 3 in the confederate constitution but somehow no supreme court ever appeared. So when when the confederacy suspended habeas corpus there was no court to rule on it. So by your own definition I guess Davis was acting illegally.
At least in the war men could actually fight and die heroically, but in the segregated south, the issue was a denial of the worth of another man's soul.
