If I recall correctly, the failure of the Reagan administration to follow congressional dictates resulted in a two-year-long national scandal and MSM feeding frenzy called "the Iran-Contra affair."

The media, after some minor confusion and a couple of heretical articles, seems to have gotten its act together with this Yahoo story, "Smarter Than You Think" in praise of the brilliance of Obama's foreign policy. The meme now is "Reagan negotiated with terrorists too".

“What if Obama disobeys the law on another Gitmo release?”

Nothing. Congress has already ceded ALL of their power to Obama by refusing to impeach him the many other times he’s already broken the law. Congress has demonstrated that the only thing important to them is to be re-elected so that they can continue to enjoy the D.C. perks of fancy free meals, free NFL tickets, free foreign travel, hobnobbing with their billionaire masters, and receiving the adulation of the masses who’ve been deluded into thinking Congressmen are special.

Obama is now emboldened to do whatever he wants with impunity, and he’s going to continue to act that way until the end of his term, and Congress will do nothing. I predict that roughly every six months for the rest of his term, Obama will up the ante with more and more and bigger and bigger illegal behavior. And no one will stop him. He’ll be near an absolute dictator by the end of 2016.
