A group of Republican lawmakers have sent a letter to the General Accountability Office questioning the authority of the president to "transfer possession and control of critical components of the Internet's infrastructure to a third party."
The Obama administration plans to abandon oversight of internet doman name functions and allow an international body to assume control.

Why do we keep allowing “our stuff” to be given away?
Don ha know? Obama and the Constitution are like ships passing in the night
He’ll say the Internet isn’t in the Constitution.
Donncha know? Obama and the Constitution are like ships passing in the night
Because we keep (s)electing hard core conservatives to represent us in d.c. (dysfunctional city). Geez, I woulda thought you’d a caught that. :>}
Who is going to stop this fire sale of American greatness?? These people will do as much destruction as the Republicans in Congress will allow! Is there ANYONE who will step forward and save our once great country??
And here I thought it was because we didn’t deserve to be prosperous or maybe the muslims want all their innovations/inventions back that we stole.
Could it be that if we give ENOUGH $hit away maybe somebody will like us?
To “internationalize” the Internet is Obama taking over the Internet.
Since when did the U. S. Constitution ever mean any thing to Obama?? I blame congress for turning a blind eye each and every time Obama went again the U. S. Constitution. Since congress has done nothing in the past, I have no reason to believe that they will do anything this time.
That’s eggs-act-lee why we voted in hard core conservatives to protect us and our rights in the last (s)election. /s
the constitution.....how quaint
I know. A throw back to ancient times. Really has no place in today’s society since it was written by a bunch of old white dudes that owned slaves. I’m so ashamed. (not!)
Notice that some who had opposed giving it away now quietly support it. Reason, Donald Trump. These rogue lawmakers can’t keep winning if we can expose them and call them out on conservative news sites and Twitter.
There is no reason, and I mean NO REASON that even if they ever thought this was a good idea they can’t wait until Obama’s out of office to try this.
Oh wait, there’s actually two reasons (1) they can blame Obama and (2) they can pass the treasonous bill with no serious blowback because Obama still has media in his pocket.
If we ever fought anything with heart and soul it needs to be this. No IP, no Internet, no domain name, not conservative sites.
Jimmy had his Panama Canal... Barky needs to top that.
Unless and until somebody stands up and says NO and backs it up with penalties will the half breed be stopped. In addition to all the illegal moves he has made WITHOUT CONGRESS, he is currently engaged in destroying the Clintons and all Republicans.
All actions point to one man rule. He is probably one or two steps away from not needing Congress for anything but window dressing. What then? Can he be stopped? What if he cancels the 2016 elections? What then?
Obama knows he is constitutionally prevented from regulating content on the internet, but an international body would have no such restrictions.
