“Allow the President to invade a neighboring nation, whenever he shall deem it necessary to repel an invasion, and you allow him … to make war at pleasure. If today, he should choose to say he thinks it necessary to invade Canada, to prevent the British from invading us, how could you stop him? You may say to him, ‘I see no probability of the British invading us’ but he will say to you, ‘Be silent; I see it, if you don’t.'”– Abraham Lincoln
