“Moreover, Section 8 gives powers to Congress; Section 9, which covers habeas corpus, is in another section. If it were a power of Congress, we would find it in Section 8, right?”

Both sections are part of Article One, which is Congress’ article.

I see that. But part of that Section 9 gives some power to the President.....same Article.

The power to suspend HC is not defined, nor is it restricted to a branch. Hence this argument.
