even tho I do not like it...Obama is using the legal opinion from the Bush Admin about War Powers. Some mumbo jumbo about the POTUS cant be restrained by congress during war and protecting Americans or something like that.
Has anyone else heard that?

I heard a Jay Carney presser some time ago when he said that Obama would NOT violate the law by swapping prisoners without first consulting congress.
You are the first ive heard to blame Bush. I'm not surprised

Not one of you Tea Brains can quote a law that was broken.
A law that is not superseded by any of the circumstances or war powers act.
A Federal Law.
Not a policy.
Not an SoP.
A Federal Law defining a criminal act.
National Defense Authorization Act.

Blame Bush? I said the War Powers. If you want to boil that down to making it about blaming Bush then I cant stop you. Just stating facts

The one he signed into law just a few months ago saying Congress would be advised 30 days prior to any release of prisoners from Gitmo.

As I told the press club last night, listen to no one seriously about this until the discussion includes the CiC's power to make decisions in wartime beyond the law.

You have to want to find the answer, to use Google.
But that's the last thing liberals want. The truth does not serve their agenda.

Obama's Bowe Bergdahl prisoner swap: Was it illegal?
President Obama is supposed to give Congress advanced warning of Guantánamo detainee transfers. In the swap that freed Bowe Bergdahl, he didn't. Why? It has to do with 'signing statements.'
By Mark Sappenfield, Staff writer / June 1, 2014

.
Well before this weekend's prisoner swap, which secured the release of Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl from Taliban insurgents after five years in captivity, House Republicans accused President Obama of essentially breaking the law to get his way.
The news of how the swap was carried out will only add to their list of grievances.
A federal statute states that the secretary of Defense must notify Congress 30 days before any transfer of prisoners from Guantánamo Bay. The law allows Congress to have a say on whether the detainees could be a threat to national security.

Signing statements are not laws, and have no legal impact at all. True for Bush, true for Obama.
A President can write all the "signing statements" he wants. He can paper the walls of his bedroom with them if he likes, or put them in his memoirs.
That's about all the use they are.
BTW, if he signs a law passed by Congress, and then doesn't obey it, he's committing a crime, just as if *I* didn't obey a law passed by Congress and signed by the President.
Writing out something called a "signing statement" before he refuses to obey the law, makes no difference.

Stop watching FOXNEWS. They are leaving out the facts.
The White House took a fourth straight day of heat for not giving Congress the required 30 days notice of a detainee release. Obama had issued a statement when he signed the law containing that requirement giving himself a loophole for certain circumstances under the executive powers clause of the Constitution.The one he signed into law just a few months ago saying Congress would be advised 30 days prior to any release of prisoners from Gitmo.

The liberals are desperate. They are kicking and squirming, trying to find ANYTHING to distract from Obama's transgressions. Their lies about him ("He didn't break any laws!!!") continue as before.
