He suspended habeus corpus for four years to name just one.
I do not condemn him for this. i applaud it. I am grateful as an American he had the courage to do what was needed.
For most of the war suspensions of habeas corpus were done under the authority Congress voted in 1862 or 63. And I would point out that there is nothing in the Constitution that states the President may not suspend habeas corpus and the Supreme Court has never ruled on the subject.
Why not do it Constitutionally?
Oh yeah, cuz he had no quorum... or else no jurisdiction.
