"All LEGISLATIVE powers". Suspension of the writ of habeas corpus, when enacted by the Executive as Lincoln did, is not a legislative procedure.
Right. The Executive has no authority to do so on his own. The Constitution of the United States grants him no such authority. That is the point.
This is clearly a provision of Article I that explicitly does NOT apply to Congress.
I didn't catch where Article I, Section X gives the Executive authority to suspend the Writ.
