[Colonel Kangaroo]

In the spring of 1861 all Lincoln knew Constitutionally was he had to collect the duties at all the US ports of entry, hold the property the Constitution entrusted to him as commander-in-chief and oversee the mail. There's nothing in the Constitution relieving him of those responsibilities just because some arrogant windbags in South Carolina wrote a piece of paper. The Constitution was the supreme law of the land, not the scribblings from Dixie.

Where in the Constitution is the provision that relieves the president from those responsibilities?

Nice try at changing the subject.

Try again.
