On Monday, the Obama administration announced that President Obama would veto a defense authorization bill if it did not close down Guantanamo Bay. White House press secretary Josh Earnest explained that the House funding bill would be vetoed “principally because…of the irresponsible way that it funds our national defense priorities, but also because of the efforts to prevent the closure [of] the prison at Guantanamo Bay.” He added that Democrats would sustain Obama’s veto, and defense authorization would die.

Go ahead and close Guantanamo.
Just do not allow any of the prisoners to be on to US soil or access to the criminal or civil justice systems.

If he vetos it, send him a budget with a 5% across the board spending cut.
Repeat as necessary.

Don’t Obama and his thugs need the “defense” authorization to promote the cause of transgender rights?

I assume Mitch has his shell closed. He should offer to resign rather than continue to capitulate.

IF the House had Any back bone, which they don't have, they would do one bill at a time, when that bill passed the Senate and went to the pResident’s desk, then prepare another bill....keep the process up, if the pResident veto's ANY bill, stop all bills period....
Let him try his treasonous pen and phone crap and then slap him with treason or impeachment....
But that is a day dream because there isn't any one with a back bone to do it....

Why don’t they shut down Planned Parenthood and GITMO at the same time?

I believe they have the votes to overturn his veto.
Who is he kidding. Obuma wants to "gift" gitmo to Cuba. Just like Carter gave away the Panama Canal.
