From your previous post, you sounded like you didn't have a CLUE about how it works. I see you have a very simplistic grasp of the subject.
What you've failed to respond to is the fact that spending bills are almost NEVER single item acts. They're almost always large lists that include all kinds of things, some vital, others pure pork. The house has a strong pork habit, you know. So, funding for Gitmo would be buried in among lots of essential things that would be very difficult to veto.
So, now please explain, if you can, whether or not the president has line item veto authority. With that little ink stamp you mentioned and all, if you'd like to include that again in your cute little response.
If you get it right, you can proceed to the 4th grade level.
If I didnt understand, then why did you call me mr expert on the subject?
So now that you'r done being stupid, (as if thats ever going to end)
Keep it open forever? War on terror must be won at all costs.
Do you have a list of how congressmen voted? I want to see who the rats are.
Yes, fight the War on Terror and against Truth Justice and the American Way by having a prison for political prisoners located in that bastian of Liberty Castro's Communist Cuba!!!!
Guantanamo is located in Cuba for we a perpetual lease on the land and the bay where it is located.
And last year Congress gave him approval to take control in removing the prisoners. He hasn't.
.
So last year congress gave him approval to "take control" in removing the prisoners but this year they denied any funding for transfer as they have in the past, that doesn't make sense.

Doesnt the military have control over the prisoners? Why wouldnt the military use funds they already receive to do that? Surely it would be cheaper to transfer them, rather than pay the army to fund and run a camp, right?

My understanding is that Guantanamo has different ground rules than Leavenworth or bases in war zones, if it were under their control there would be no need for the congressional vote last week. We have prisons in the US that could accept the detainees, even that would be a step in the right direction, release would be an improvement.

And Congress has gave Obama the ability to move prisoners there. He refuses to. He refuses to do much of anything in a way that would show any sort of leadership out of him.
He is the very definition of a know nothing, do nothing president.
As I pointed out earlier, even Feinstein has called him out on this.
