Spare me. He had the right. He had the DUTY!

Of course you can't provide the specific placement of that power under Article II Section 2 where this power is found. Of course you can't but don't let that bother you. Statements, words practically in stone, and simple facts don't matter apparently. I would refer this statement to you

The powers reserved to the several States will extend to all the objects which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal order, improvement, and prosperity of the State.

If you would bother to read where that came from (any conservative should know the source)and note the author, you would see facts and limitations of power do matter.

How about this? Terri Schiavo was a citizen of the state of Florida, and as such was entitled to have her rights defended by, yes, the President, if not the Governor of her state of residence:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Article IV.

Section. 2.

Clause 1: The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States.

[and to cite further:]

Article II.

Section 1.

Clause 8: Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation:--"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
