Emancipation Proclamation

« on: November 08, 2004, 07:27:26 PM »

If yes, please post the part of the Constitution that says the president of the United States is allowed to pass laws without any involvement from Congress whatsoever.

It is perfectly legal in a war to seize the property of an enemy. Because of the way the EP was written it only seized enemy property as disposed of it.

It is not a war with a foreign nation. Just because Virginia declares secession, does not mean the Constituion has actually been nullified inside my State, so president Bush can just take away my house.

That's the whole idea behind the war anyway: that the Union could not be dissolved by action of a State legislature.

Complaining about the Emancipation Proclamation not being Constitutional seems to be an argument against strict interpretation more than anything.

First of all, I'm not for a strict interpretation of the Constitution, but let's pretend I am. How is this an argument against it?
