Today, I have signed into law S. 2943, the "National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017."  

Reading further we find the following - 

As I have said repeatedly, the provisions in this bill concerning detainee transfers would, in certain circumstances, violate constitutional separation of powers principles. Additionally, section 1034 could in some circumstances interfere with the ability to transfer a detainee who has been granted a writ of habeas corpus. In the event that the restrictions on the transfer of detainees in sections 1032 and 1034 operate in a manner that violates these constitutional principles, my Administration will implement them in a manner that avoids the constitutional conflict.

Note that the bill by Obama's own admission violates the U.S. Constitution and yet he's signed it.   January 20, 2017, can't come soon enough with this type of governance.
