Can you please point me to the Article, Section, and Paragraph of the Constitution which enumerates that authority Mr. President?

Article Two, Section Two, First Paragraph

[steverino62]

Delusional - Article Two, Section 2, First Paragraph gives the President the power to pardon the “evildoers,” not to wiretap them.

Moreover, regarding “unreasonable searches and seizures,” Amendment IV guarantees that right to “the people,” not simply the citizenry. So, much as I despise Islamofascists, one can make a legitimate argument that Amendment IV on its face also appears to protect enemy aliens on American soil.

What is with the pantywaists in this country (and on this site) who esteem their freedoms so lightly, who think those turkeys are some kind of supermen, that they must surrender their liberties - and ours! - in order to defeat them? I commend to such people these words of Samuel Adams: “May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”

Section 2. The President shall be commander in chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the militia of the several states, when called into the actual service of the United States; he may require the opinion, in writing, of the principal officer in each of the executive departments, upon any subject relating to the duties of their respective offices, and he shall have power to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment.

Can you point out the words 'warrantless' or 'spying' in here because I don't see them.

There must be an invisible emanating penumbra in there somewhere..
