***Have they? I know Jackson did and it's a low point in American history. I'd be curious to see a list of these incidents.
I believe Lincoln did also. I can't think of any others right now, but will see if I can find anything else on it.
Do you have an answer to my other question though? I wondered what the remedy would be in that situation....
It would seem a case of Civil War would be an exception that proves the rule. But the SC has the final authority to interpret the Constitution. That means they win the argument. There are bad decisions just like there are bad laws and bad Presidential appointments. The Republic gets by.
