BREAKING: President JoeBiden signs 2023 National Defense Authorization Act into law despite 'unconstitional' concerns
Biden specifically claimed that one provision is"unconstitutional" and stated his intention to comply with others in a limited capacity.The White House had previously refused to say whether or not Biden would veto the package after Republicans included a clause that rolled back the Pentagon's coronavirus vaccine mandate and re-instated unvaccinated servicemembers, though Biden did not specifically note that provision among his listed objections Friday morning.
The president criticized Congress for including two sections that continue"to bar the use of funds appropriated to the Department of Defense to transfer Guantánamo Bay detainees to the custody or effective control of certain foreign countries" or within the United States. Biden also objected to 12 sections that require the executive branch to submit additional reports to Congress regarding"highly sensitive classified information."
