According to the House Armed Services Committee website and NDAA 2012 HAS NOT been passed it is still being argued. Why don't you try doing a little fact checking before you spout this gargbage?
The Senate and House have passed a final version and the POTUS is waiting to sign it.
There is a question of whether the POTUS must sign to become law.
With the high percentage of Senate yes votes, it might be "legal" anyway.
The veto is in question.
The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2012 is a controversial bill that has been passed by both houses of Congress separately, and a final version approved by the Senate on December 15, 2011.[1][2][3] Though the White House[4] and Senate sponsors[5] maintain that the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Terrorists (AUMF) already grants presidential authority for indefinite detention, the Act legislatively codifies[6] the President's authority to indefinitely detain terrorism suspects, including American citizens, without trial as defined in Title X, Subtitle D, SEC 1031(a-e) of the bill.[7] Because those who may be held indefinitely include U.S. citizens arrested on American soil, and because that detention may be by the military, the Act has received critical attention by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and media sources.

“What this legislation does,” lectured Senator Karl Levin earlier this month, “says from the Congress’ point-of-view, that we expressly authorize the indefinite detention” of someone deemed a threat. “We recognize the authority of this president and every other president to hold an enemy combatant indefinitely, whether they are captured home or abroad, because that only makes sense.”
“How long can you hold them? As long as it takes to make us safe,” said Graham.
The senator added that, “when you join the enemy…we aren’t worried about how we’re going to prosecute you right away.” Because of this, Miranda Rights should not be read to suspected criminals and additionally the right to an attorney is also suspended under the act.
Additionally, the president can send American-born detainees to foreign prisons and can at last legally take the offense and launch cyber wars against alleged enemy nations.
you can say er post , how you feel about the HR 1540 Sub SEC D on their site.

IT IS NOT LAW!!!
It is a corporate statute that APPLIES to corporate "citizens". So many people have tried to explain this on ATS and so few actually understand it. I would love to hold classes and teach the real truth so we all can get on the same page and reclaim what is rightfully ours.....OUR SOVEREIGNTY!!
Do unto others and to he!! with the corporate BS "governments", MAN EXISTED LONG ANTECEDENT TO THE CREATION OF GOVERNMENT, we as humans today have the same rights as cavemen and "Adam" who were created FROM the earth, in which WE have dominion and we were NOT created by any fictional entity SUCH AS GOVERNMENT.
in other words, Obama will do what Bush Jr did, turn a blind eye to the Constitution, but do it in the name of National Security. Who can argue with that?, if you say boo, then HR 1540 will list you as what? if you have been paying attention then you will know, if not... can you say Git Mo?
Today I have signed into law H.R. 2055, the "Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2012." This bill provides the funding necessary for the smooth operation of our Nation's Government.
I have previously announced that it is the policy of my Administration, and in the interests of promoting transparency in Government, to indicate when a bill presented for Presidential signature includes provisions that are subject to well-founded constitutional objections. The Department of Justice has advised that a small number of provisions of H.R. 2055 raise constitutional concerns.
In this bill, the Congress has once again included provisions that would bar the use of appropriated funds for transfers of Guantanamo detainees into the United States (section 8119 of Division A), as well as transfers to the custody or effective control of foreign countries unless specified conditions are met (section 8120 of Division A). These provisions are similar to others found in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012. My Administration has repeatedly communicated my objections to these provisions, including my view that they could, under certain circumstances, violate constitutional separation of powers principles. In approving this bill, I reiterate the objections my Administration has raised regarding these provisions, my intent to interpret and apply them in a manner that avoids constitutional conflicts, and the promise that my Administration will continue to work towards their repeal.
A federal citizen, also called: a 14th Amendment citizen, a citizen of
the United States, a US citizen, a citizen of the District of Columbia,
has civil rights that are almost equal to the natural rights that state
Citizens have. I say almost because civil rights are created by Congress
and can be taken away by Congress. Federal citizens are subjects of
Congress, under their protection as a "resident" of a State, a person
enfranchised to the federal government (the incorporated United
States defined in Article I, section 8, clause 17 of the Constitution).
The individual States may not deny to these persons any federal
privileges or immunities that Congress has granted them. This specific
class of citizen is a federal citizen under admiralty law (International
Law). As such they do not have inalienable common rights
recognized, secured and protected in the Constitutions of the States,
or of the Constitution for the United States of America, such as
"allodial" (absolute) rights to property, the rights to inheritance, the
rights to work and contract, and the right to travel among others.
