Question
That soil was not ours; and Congress did not annex or attempt to annex it. But to return to your position: allow the president to invade a neighboring nation, whenever he shall deem it necessary to repel an invasion, and you allow him to do so, whenever he may choose to say he deems it necessary for such purpose - and you allow him to make war at pleasure. study to see if you can fix any limit to his power in this respect.
The provision of the Constitution giving the war-making power to Congress was dictated, as I understand it, by the following reasons. Kings had always been involving and impoverishing their people in wars, pretending generally, if not always, that the good of the people was the object. This, our convention understood to be the most oppressive of all Kingly oppressions; and they resolved to so frame the Constitution that no one man should hold the power of bringing this oppression upon us but your view destroys the whole matter, and places our President where Kings have always stood.

When Lincoln said "the soil wasn't ours," he was talking about land that had not been rightfully claimed by the United States, meaning they didn't have legal or moral ownership of it. He wanted to emphasize that it's important to respect other nations' rights and not just take land whenever we want. Lincoln believed that if the president could easily invade other countries, it would be like giving him too much power, similar to the kings who made wars for their own benefit.
