Didn’t Lincoln do this?
Does the President have the authority to do this? I couldn;t see anything in the Constitution which would allow it.
Reading McCain’s bill, there is nothing in there which would prevent a tyrannical President from seizing American citizens and imprison them without due process of law indefinitely and under vague circumstances.

That Dum President FDR signed an EO to round up the Japanese.
