Those are the powers that site CLAIMS the Prexy has. But we already found a glaring error in that conspiracy BS. Conspirators often don't read or think straight. Ray Deranged proves that. I want to see the actual wording to see what it ACTUALLY says.

It's your claim. Back it up.

Here's US Code:
www4.law.cornell.edu

Here's the CFR (where those EOs supposedly end up):
access.gpo.gov

You produce the text and I'll concede the point. But I see the actual text FIRST.

And there's also this:
www4.law.cornell.edu
If FDR did issue an EO claiming the power to sujspend the Constitution, that cancelled his EO. So it no longer is effective.

Another point: FDR had a lot of trouble with the USSC. A long running battle. He finally threatened to introduce an amendment increasing the size of the Court to 15 which would have allowed him to pack it and get his way. The Court knuckled under at that point.

If the Constitution was suspended, why did he have to go through all that? The USSC is meaningless except in the context of the Constitution. Why didn't he just issue more EOs dictating his terms?

AND, BTW, the claim that FDR "suspended the constitution" is yet ANOTHER error on that site.

As I said, I want to see the text myself. Then we'll know whether that site is lying yet again.

You're essentially citing editorials on an anonymous website. Does that constitute credible evidence, to you?
