What ping are you talking about?

You're the one who is suddenly concerned about who's pinging who. You figure it out.

That is what is known as doubletalk

I'm glad you finally admit to it!

Did they impeach him for the suspension?

Nope, nor is impeachment the only process by which Congress may disapprove of a president's actions. In fact impeachment is probably the rarest of many options Congress can take to disapprove of a president's actions. The most common is simply killing a major bill that he wants, and that is exactly what Congress did to Lincoln to show its disapproval over his suspension of the writ.

Well, if Congress did not consider what Lincoln was doing was bad enough to warrent impeachment, I guess it wasn't all that bad!

So, why are you and Nolu beating a dead horse!

Congress did not regard Lincoln as a tyrant, if they did they would have impeached him as such.

They may not have like everything he, as President did, but what Congress does?
