Two Republican lawmakers said President Barack Obama violated U.S. laws when he approved the exchange of an American soldier believed held by Islamist insurgents for five years for five Afghan detainees held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Congressman Howard “Buck” McKeon of California and Sen. James Inhofe of Oklahoma said Saturday in a statement that Obama is required by law to notify Congress 30 days before any transfer of terrorists from the U.S. detention facility.

[lbryce]

Yeah, he committed a crime. So what's your point? And why are you making an issue about it regarding this particular violation?

The fact is, His Turdiness, didn't do it in the interest of his own soldier but as means to freeing his kindred spirit nihilists.

Why keep them locked up when there's so much work to do, so many infidels out there breathing the air, allowed to live?

[MeshugeMikey]

when are these types going to DO SOMETHING about any of Barry’s Legal Violations?

[kingattax]

high ranking “do nothings”

[dfwgator]

Exactly. They won’t do squat.

[Know et al]

Good observation. Are they saying he can break the law 300 times but don't dare break it 301?

[Uri’el-2012]

If the re-pubic-ans do not impeach,

the Islamo-fascist coup is complete

[BitWielder1]

Then do something about it.
We are relying on you congress critters to keep the President inside the boundaries of the law but nothing is happening.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Yeh High ranking quislings. I’m sick of watching the Kenyan thumb his nose at Congress and the Constitution. They need to impeach him even if they can’t remove him from office.

The Speaker of the House SHOULD convene impeachment proceedings immediately, but we've not heard a peep from boner ....

[Salvey]

It would be RACIST to impeach obama.

[PGalt]

TREASON - continuous, in-your-face, agenda-driven, agency-abetted, representative-enabled, media-complicit, well-connected ignored, ongoing...

[Artcore]

And we all know not one damn thing will be done about it!

[ReaganGeneration2]

The article says Obama believed the law itself violated his Constituional powers as C-in-C.

Really? a Constitutional crisis over one allegedly AWOL muslim traded for 5 high-ranking Talibans?

Sorry, Mr President, you signed that law then apparently broke it.

[SkyDancer]

Nope. Nothing. And if anyone did challenge him they’d be called racist.

So that takes care of the Republican outrage. We can now move on to other things.

every EXEMPT US Congressman should be indicted this
week for misprision of felony.

[Blood of Tyrants]

What difference does it make? Congress doesn’t have the balls to do anything about it.

[GeronL]

And they will do nothing
