My point is that Davis had no interest in anything in the confederate constitution which might have gotten in his way.

That isn't a point, it's a slander. What is the point of your slander, except to heap obloquy on a man who was called unwillingly to lead a nation in war?

Lincoln took a lot of expedient measures, too -- and he never had so great a provocation. Your typification of Jefferson Davis as a despot is an argument ad hominem, another in your series of "so's your old man" name-calling recriminations. It says nothing about the merits of the South's secession from the United States.
