Congress Committed to Stopping Obama From Handing Gitmo U.S. Naval Station to Cuba

Which means it is a done deal just like TPP and the Iran deal. The speaker will come up with some plan like TPA and have cruz push it through Congress. Then once it's passed, cruz will say ryan lied to him and he does not support it after the fact.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

‘twas predicted when the WH announced the trip to Cuba.

[CMB_polarization]

All talk from the Republicans these days.

[Jimmy Valentine]

Obama will give the base back to Cuba. The original agreement negotiated after the Spanish- American War was 99 years.. We are a month to month tenant and that will be Obamas rationale for the give back. Watch and wait.

Problem is I don’t think congress can stop it!!! Once all the Terrorist are transferred Then He transfers all the military off base and hands the keys to the Cubans.. Then it’s all over folks!!!

[Kaslin]

Of course he will by EO

[CMailBag]

Interesting that there is not a word from the mediacrats about “giving the military an illegal order”

[VerySadAmerican]

It was two or three weeks ago that I posted that I thought Obama was going to give Gitmo back to Cuba.

[Ancesthntr]

Trump needs to publicly announce that this is something that Obama is thinking of doing, and that if he does it and the Cubans take over the place, that he will order the military to take it back on January 20th.

[howlinhound]

They are committed until Obama frowns at Mitch McConnell who will then roll over whimpering like a puppy. Ryan will follow.

[shelterguy]

Yes. The Republicrats were going to stop husseincare, the trade deals, court nominees, spending etc. I guess they didn’t.

“Trump needs to publicly announce that this is something that Obama is thinking of doing, and that if he does it and the Cubans take over the place, that he will order the military to take it back on January 20th.”

Absolutely. Yes - say it loud and clear and often enough so the media cannot ignore it.

[Iron Munro]

Did anyone doubt this is what the King had in mind with his change in Cuba policy and his renewed push to move the muslim terrorists out of GITMO?

He is in a mad rush to screw America over as much as possible in the next 10 months.

[AFreeBird]

Mitch and the boys like the submissive little GOPe bitches they are.

[FirstFlaBn]

Mebbe the Pubbies in congress would be brave enough to hold a news conference where they make mean faces in response to the illegal executive action.

Mitch would probably be so pissed off that he would delay confirming Obama’s Supreme Court nominee for a week or so.

[Verginius Rufus]

Even if Congress passes such a law, Obama will veto it, and enough Democrats will support his veto that it will stand.

What is the legal status of the base? Is it something that the Commander-in-Chief can decide on unilaterally?

[Kaslin]

He sure worked on it.

[Iron Munro]

This certainly calls for another strongly worded memo from House Speaker Paul Ryan to King Obama !!!

[Vinnie]

He gives the base back to Cuba, Russia and/or China will be in there before the end of the year.
