Why, Congress, of course.

Give the names and provide the quote where they said somebody else could suspend it.

When they refunded Andrew Jackson's $1,000 fine with interest.

Jackson wasn't president and a simple refund of his fine does not make his act legal after the fact.

No... explain how Jackson was going to get in touch with the Congress and ask them to suspend the Writ -- with no telegraph and the Brits on the doorstep.

Jackson did the right thing. President Lincoln did the right thing.
