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.

Of, fine, let’s remember this when Jimmy Two Face is voting in another one of 0’s appointments. “The president gets to make appointments” he’ll say.

Impeach or STFU you cowards

[Aria]

Zero is daring us to do just that and probably hopes that doing so will rally at least 51% of the country to his new victimhood status so he can hold on to the Senate.

It is good to be King.

The Law is “whatever” you feel like that day.

[BigEdLB]

By the blather of Papa Bergdahl, we are in dangerous territory. If there are any members of the senate other than the 20 or so Tea Party folks like Cruz and Lee, they ought start asking questions

[demshateGod]

Wrong! They’ll do something. They’ll vote again to give the law breaker unlimited spending.

[tumblindice]

It’s just another in a multitude of sternly worded congressional public statements containing the critters’ bawling & harrumphing on the subject of the Kenyan’s latest lawbreaking incident/nose-thumbing.
They feel they have to do something and this is better than nothing, though barely. Yeah, it’s pathetic.

I wish they would, but the repubs in Washington will never have the guts to do it.

[GeronL]

The Congressional GOPes are allowing Obama to act as a dictator, they really don’t care, they are too busy fighting their own party base

[BigEdLB]

And if anyone did challenge him they’d be called racist.

I'm a racist
You're a racist
He's a racist
She's a racist
We're all racists
Wouldn't you like to be a racist too?

And as a good racist, I say Dr Ben Carson for President. And with apologies to Dr Pepper

I M P E A C H -- N O W

"And violations of the law by the chief executive...are sooo sad..."

[cashless]

So what? Since when do republicans give a crap about anything this little man has done? Do they pass laws to make him accountable? Do they vote on laws to make their Democrat friends uncomfortable with having a bad vote on the record. Just so much more hot air from an aged and dying political party. They need to trade in the pachyderm for the dodo bird.

[bandleader]

That’s RIGHT!Either PUT UP or SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[elpadre]

so, he violated the law - the Senate will make a lot of noise and blow a lot of smoke and then the issue will fade away - like all the other violation of the Constitution.

and Obama knows it.

[ChildOfThe60s]

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

Har har har. Rhetorical question?

Boner and Harry Reid's bitch Mitch are. "You meanie, if you don't stop I am going to hit your fist again with my chin. If that doesn't stop you, then I'll have to bend over and drop 'em...that'll teach you".

[Clay Moore]

I don’t know why they are wasting their energy beating their gums about this. It’s not like they are actually going to do anything about it.

Gutless worms.

[ExCTCitizen]

He violated another law?? Rules aren’t for those types.
