Pubs have promised to keep it going by their continued votes against closing it. While at the same time whining about "why hasn't Obama kept his campaign promise?"
Nope. No cure for stupid.
I haven't seen a Republican vote that says he may not close it.
From your previous post, you sounded like you didn't have a CLUE about how it works. I see you have a very simplistic grasp of the subject.
What you've failed to respond to is the fact that spending bills are almost NEVER single item acts. They're almost always large lists that include all kinds of things, some vital, others pure pork. The house has a strong pork habit, you know. So, funding for Gitmo would be buried in among lots of essential things that would be very difficult to veto.
So, now please explain, if you can, whether or not the president has line item veto authority. With that little ink stamp you mentioned and all, if you'd like to include that again in your cute little response.
If you get it right, you can proceed to the 4th grade level.

So what's the end game here?
There is no "end game" there. GITMO is a valuable, if not vital, resource and will stay open in perpetuity, our Ethics-Free POTUS' mindless gibberish notwithstanding.
Once again, Congress didn't run on a promise to close Gitmo, BO did. It appears he has all the power needed to keep his promise, yet refuses to do so without dragging Congress into the matter.
