It would prohibit transfers to the detainee’s country of origin or other foreign countries unless the Defense Department certifies the foreign government is not a designated state sponsor of terrorism and that the detainee will not pose a threat to the U.S. in the future. It also would prohibit the Defense Department from transferring detainees to Yemen until Dec. 31, 2014, and would bar the transfer of detainees to the United States for medical treatment.” (S. 1197, CQ Vote #237: Rejected 43-55: R 40-3; D 3-50; I 0-2, 11/19/13, Bennet Voted Nay)
