I hope all the people who believe in "checks and balances" and the laws being upheld by the courts are reading and understanding what is happening. MAGA is destroying democracy and quickly. |

Only Congress can suspend Habeas.Corpus. the only times a president suspended it was when Lincoln did so when Congress was not in session. So, Trump can try. God help us. |

The Constitution generally states that only Congress has the power to suspend habeas corpus, though it may do so in cases of rebellion or invasion when public safety requires it. This power is primarily based on Article I, Section 9, Clause 2 of the Constitution. The president cannot suspend habeas corpus without explicit authorization from Congress.
Elaboration: Suspension Clause: The Constitution's Suspension Clause (Article I, Section 9, Clause 2) states that "the Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it". Congressional Authority: While the clause doesn't explicitly name the branch with the authority to suspend habeas corpus, legal scholars and historical precedent strongly suggest that this power resides with Congress. Executive Power: The president cannot unilaterally suspend habeas corpus; they need congressional authorization. Historical Examples: During the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln suspended habeas corpus, but his action was met with opposition and later affirmed by Congress through the Habeas Corpus Suspension Act of 1863. Recent Discussions: Recent discussions, such as those surrounding the Trump administration's consideration of suspending habeas corpus to address immigration, highlight the ongoing debate and legal interpretations surrounding this power. Key Points: The Constitution limits the suspension of habeas corpus to cases of rebellion or invasion. Only Congress, or through delegated authority, can suspend habeas corpus.
