How did US President Jackson differ from President Lincoln on the suspension of habeas corpus?
ChuckSiata
President Andrew Jackson recognized that the Framers of the US Constitution had provision for the suspension of habeas corpus, however, as the Framers were aware that an "emergency" could be a pretext for the suspension, they made no express provision for its exercise. This was Jackson's view. And, he went on to say any presidential claims for this act required a close and suspicious examination by the Congress. President Lincoln, on the other hand, who, and by the way, less convincingly claimed that the habeas corpus clause allowed for broad suspension of constitutional rights in the presidential interest in time of rebellion or invasion. During the US Civil War, Lincoln's suspensions were not carefully examined by Congress in a suspicious manner at all.
