He has the power to declare administrative orders clarifying the enforcement of laws. He does not have the power to enforce orders contrary to laws passed by the legislative branch. He is not a legislator and the line item veto has been declared unconstitutional.
uhm...they pass the BUDGET, which authorizes the building, opening, and maintaining of such facilities
You're confusing authorization and appropriation. Can you show me which law provides for the prison BEFORE Rumsfield started sending them there? Probably not, because it started in the middle of a fiscal year that began before 9/11.

It was a pretty simple request, but I guess you are going to ignore. Use as a terrorist prison is far beyond what it was before. Personally I don't give a **** if they close it or not.
Executive Order 13492 is an Executive Order issued by United States President Barack Obama ordering the closure of the Guantanamo Bay detention camp, in Cuba...... The full title of the order is: Executive Order 13492 - Review and Disposition of Individuals Detained at the Guantánamo Bay Naval Base and Closure of Detention Facilities.
In Executive Order 13493 Obama ordered the identification of alternate venues for the detainees
now the REAL wording of the REAL eo, not the one you FALSELY posted
POTUS does not have the AUTHORITY to closed a federal facility or military facility....only congress does
you guys keep saying "list them"
I show you the ILLEGAL eo from his FIRST DAY IN OFFICE............ and you say its ok, because he is a liberal
heck by Day 4 — Jan. 24, 2009: obozo was Bombing our allies in Pakistan , killing civilians and children
My apologies, you are correct, I posted EO 13943, however it was a honest mistake. Not intentional.
So lets discuss 13942.
What EXACTLY is illegal about it? The President as head of the armed forces has the ability to manage treatment and detainment of prisoners held overseas by our military. Whats your constitutional issue here?

the question would be how are you NOT seeing the issue
have you not watched 25 years of BRACs where the sec of def/ or potus/ or commission may make RECOMMENDATIONS for closures/realignments...but it still comes down to CONGRESS to pass/fail it
the POTUS does not have the power to close ant federal/military facility.....that power is in congress
when the CCF (criminal containment facility) on ft McClellan was closed in 1999....was it a Clinton eo...no...it was congress
President Theodore Roosevelt enacted 1,081 executive orders during his presidency. President Dwight Eisenhower had 484. President Ronald Reagan had 381. And President George W. Bush had 291.
President Barack Obama has enacted 182 executive orders -- yet the GOP accuses him of being an "imperial president," and Republican members of the House of Representatives are preparing to sue him for violating the Constitution.
It's entirely irrelevant how many executive orders Eisenhower or Reagan signed. They aren't preparing to sue Obama for signing too many executive orders.
It's like saying Mother Theresa and Charles Manson both drove Chevrolets. Yet they sued Manson for murder.
It's either rank dishonesty or mind numbling stupidity. Take your pick.
Obama used recess appointments when there was no recess.
Obama altered the terms of the Affordable Care Act after it had been passed.
Obama enacted portions of the Dream Act even though Congress did not pass it.
Those are the things that they want to sue him for. Not for signing too many executive orders. So comparing the number of orders Obama signed to the number another person signed it completely and wholly beside the point when they aren't suing him for signing too many of them. It should be a simple concept.
