The answer is yes, if he chooses to.At present, legislation bars him from sending the Guantánamo detainees to the mainland United States to receive justice from the federal courts, leaving them to be tried by slow-moving military commissions that deny them many of the guarantees of civilian legal procedure. Nevertheless, the president has a way forward. He can, on his own authority, send federal judges to Guantánamo, where they could resolve the remaining cases in trials everyone can respect.
right wing didn't think of that one but sure they will re-re-interpret to find some way to deny. they beat on him about those things they block him from doing them cry incompetance. seeing as how that is their daily effort who is incompetant at their job actually that's not a fair question when you never do the job can you say you have the job?

Exercising his authority as commander in chief, President Harry S. Truman created a system of civilian courts in the American zone of occupation. In the 1950s, Dwight D. Eisenhower used the same power to create a special United States Court for Berlin, which remained under occupation even after the Federal Republic regained full sovereignty in western Germany. A regular federal judge presided over a criminal trial in that court as late as 1979 — a year after President Jimmy Carter gained Chief Justice Warren E. Burger’s consent to dispatch a federal district judge, Herbert J. Stern, to Berlin.Nothing prevents President Obama from establishing a similar court at Guantánamo, where 166 prisoners remain under indefinite detention and about 100 have gone on a hunger strike.
good thing tey don't do their homework because if they did it would take longer to realize the distance they are willing to go just to get one piece of untruth they can get to stick at least for a couple of days.
