[Non-Sequitur]

I am not implying that Lincoln violated the Constitution. I am giving you the evidence that he did.

And how does that violate the Constitution? What clause?

Oh, now you’re just toying with him...;’}

About Lincoln instructing Secretary Seward to take State Department funds without Congressional authorization and pay for a secret invasion of Charleston, you said:

"And how does that violate the Constitution?"

You yourself stated the answer to your own question... that:

" The budgets for the Navy Department and the War Department covered it. You want to imply that Lincoln violated the Constitution by appropriating money for the resupply effort instead of Congress. Such an implication is too ludicrous to deserve a reasonable answer.

So are you going to give us another answer as to why Lincoln was taking and spending money that he did not have the right to do?
