Abraham Lincoln used an executive order to pass Emancipation Proclamation

For the historians here:

Did Lincoln receive similar criticism from the Democrats, as Obama has received for his executive order on immigration??

Was he also threatened with impeachment?

The DUmmy thought he really had something to spring on his republican relatives at the Thanksgiving get-together. He was all poised to pounce with this one. He was going to draw this one like a gun on the first rethug to open his stupid mouth with some sass about Barry. DUmmy was all set to shut up that bagger dad/uncle/BIL but good and send them stomping off mumbling and red-faced...

until the facts got in the way.

Back to the old drawing board, DUmmy.

2. Yes, but that was under his war powers AND he followed it up with the 13th amendment.

5. The Emancipation Proclamation was a military order not an Executive order.

Lincoln did the EP in his role as Commander in Chief not as President. That is why the EP did not cover all slaves. It just covered slaves in areas controlled by confederate troops. Areas in the north controlled by the Union were not covered by the EP and slaves were not freed by that order. It applied to 3 milion slaves under confederate control. One million were left as slaves that were under union control.

Pretty soon, they'll be comparing him to Washington.

Bad move on their part, the comebacks practically write themselves: "Lincoln freed the slaves, Obama enslaved the free - to insurance companies!" for starters.

Carter is smiling, as Obama lapped him long ago.
