The Constitution is a grant of powers, not a restriction of existing powers. If it doesn't grant the power to the President, he doesn't have it. You can't show where it grants the power to the president. I and GOP Capitalist can show where it grants the power to suspend WHC to Congress, in certain times.

Your concept of "reality" is upside down - you think this is a country in which the Federal Government created the States, and in which the Constitution limits the pre-existing powers of the Federal Government, rather than enumerating and ceding a limited amount of powers from the States and the People.

You are thoroughly, and shamefully, reconstructed.

Apparently only three months out of the year in 1861 -- that's how long Congress met for. Too bad if a revolution or rebellion crop up during the other nine months, I guess.

There is nothing in the Constitution to prevent the president from suspending the Writ.

Not according to James Madison.

If it doesn't grant the power to the President, he doesn't have it.

The laws passed pursuant to the Constitution are also the supreme law of the land and that includes the Militia Act of 1792 as amended in 1795.
