“[W]ith only days before your term ends, we ask that you definitively close the site by rapidly pursuing any and all options within your existing authority to seek lawful disposition of all of the 55 remaining individuals languishing in the camp,” the 40 Democratic members of the caucus wrote. “Mr Trump must be deprived of the use of Guantánamo Bay.”

Obama has been prevented from moving the detainees to facilities in the U.S. by Republican enacted funding restriction laws.

18 more detainees are expected to go to other countries before Obama leaves office. There will then be 37 remaining. Considering where Obama began, he's done a commendable job. Don't blame him, blame Republicans.

I won't be surprised to see Trump try and put Americans at Gitmo. In the meantime, watch your dollars go to waste in Afghanistan.

Don't blame Obama for not closing Gitmo. The blame is with Republicans.
