From where does * claim the power to declare enemy combatants?
Having read through the Constitution I see no mention of the power of the President to declare somebody an enemy combatant, and therefore in legal limbo. From where does this power supposedly derive?

2. He believes that under War Powers he has certain dictatorial powers
and points to the Civil War as the largest example.

The fact that he's an functionally insane religious megalomaniac helps.
