Obama: I have the power to detain Americans…

In a statement issued amid an Obama family vacation in Hawaii, the president said he signed the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 on the last day of 2011 mostly to authorize $662 billion in funding
for the military.

Obama cited a litany of disagreements with various provisions of the bill after stating "The fact that I support this bill as a whole does not mean I agree with everything in it."

Many of his criticisms revolve around the detention of foreign and U.S. prisoners and the potential for weakening a president's authority in such situations.

"I want to clarify that my administration will not authorize the indefinite military detention without trial of American citizens," he said.

Not only has he broken another campaign promised of continuing the practice of signing statements that the libs hated under Bush, he thinks that the Constitution doesn't apply to him.

Moreover, I want to clarify that my Administration will not authorize the indefinite military detention without trial of American citizens. Indeed, I believe that doing so would break with our most important traditions and values as a Nation. My Administration will interpret section 1021 in a manner that ensures that any detention it authorizes complies with the Constitution, the laws of war, and all other applicable law.

Also from my link:
When a bill is presented to the President, the Constitution (Art. II) allows him only three choices: do nothing, sign the bill, or (if he disapproves of the bill) veto it in its entirety.
