1. As Commander-in-Chief, Biden can order all US military to immediately abandon the post

Trump established court precedent that the Commander-in-Chief can also divert slated funds from one project to another based solely on whether he or she deems there to be an emergency regardless of the wishes or funding specifications of the Congress(border wall rulings). Therefore, Biden can immediately order all Guantanamo funding to cover the emergency housing crisis he deems to be happening among non-deployed US personnel (i.e., on US bases).

Detainees will revert to the responsibility of the Red Cross, avoiding the moronic laws about not transferring them to the US.

That's it. No more extra-judicial detention.

It's not that hard. If there's going to be an imperial Presidency, use it for good.

I mean, Khalid Sheik Mohammed then goes back to Peshawar and they get to handle him, but so what?
