Did President Obama sign into law or veto this bill that Congress passed on Thursday?

Congress Bans Transfer of Gitmo Prisoners to U.S. for Trial


In other news from Capitol Hill, Congress passed legislation that would effectively bar the transfer of Guantánamo prisoners to the United States for trial. The bill also bans the purchase or construction of any facility inside the United States to hold prisoners now being held at Guantánamo. The measure was passed despite opposition from the Obama administration.

I was over at Amy Goodman's site and read this and wondered how many vetoes has President Obama issued so far in the first 2 years.

1. I could be wrong but it was my understanding that this was a sticking point

and President Obama let this go for the time being in order to pass DADT.

2. It was part of the larger defense appropriations bill. He will sign it.

If was one of the provisions of H.R.6523 the defense appropriations bill for 2011.

I didn't read the NYT the other day. I was too busy shopping.

5. You must have congress mixed up with the President.

They passed it. Perhaps you can go out and protest not just him,
but the congress that Americans voted for. I believe that I am
referring to democracy....a political system in which this country
is ran by, which is not just about one man.

6. Obama signed it. n/t

7. I agree with FrenchieCat

This stuff is not as simple as some always purport it to be. There are 3 provisions in the defense authorization bill that will stifle efforts toward closing the prison. Both chambers passed it so in my opinion they are all to blame.

8. Sho you right Frenchie!!

Apparantly they think that President Obama is Superman and what he wishes magically happens.

President Obama is working within the frames of Democracy and many won't accept that.
