Returning Gitmo to Cuba would involve a treaty subject to Senate ratification, wouldn’t it?

Now...Bammie can shut down those Radio & TV Marti broadcasts with the stroke of a pen. He’ll do that first & judge the uproar as to whether he can proceed with relinquishing Gitmo.

I have zero faith in this Congress that they will stop him.

I don't know. I doubt the president has the authority to abandon a military base on his own, and I think Gitmo involves a long term lease that communist Cuba objects to.

None of the news I've heard has described the process that must be followed. Actually, this story has been drowned out like many other stories by last weeks huge stories.
