Do you think that Congress would have not given him the powers to raise troops?

You are engaging in diversionary tactics. A primary issue is whether Congress would have given him the power to suspend habeas corpus. Their outright refusal to do so after they did reconvene in July is an indicator that they would not have.

You guys refuse to accept the fact that if Congress did not like what Lincoln was doing and thought it was unconsitutional they could have impeached him.

Was any motion to impeach even offered?

Maybe with a Civil War going on and all that entailed, the Congress was not overly concerned with the limited suspension of the writ.
