Does Obama have authority to close Gitmo? (Does it matter?)


The President says he’s closing the terrorist prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The White House says some of the detainees (those deemed “the worst” terrorists of the worst who cannot be released) will be coming to the U.S. But Sen. Lindsey Graham tells Full Measure it will “never happen” and that the President is “delusional” if he thinks this is the right time to close Guantanamo. Sunday on Full Measure, we’ll explore whether the President has the authority to shut down Gitmo and bring detainees here–and whether it matters.

    Does the DC US government have the authority from the Constitution to have such a monstrosity of tyranny in the first place?

    Then, I’m going with no.
