the "ghost amendment," was signed by President James Buchanan and left for the new president

This was curious to me. I didn't think Article 5 of the Constitution required the President to sign amendments proposed by two-thirds of Congress.

Republican Endorses Slavery!

Article V does not require a presidential signature on an amendment proposal before it is passed to the states for ratification.

The statement that Buchanan "signed" the Ghost Amendment is news to me. However, Lincoln did in fact "sign" the actual 13th Amendment abolishing slavery even though the Constitution did not require it and he had no business "signing" it.
