So, what's the penalty for not following the President's executive order?
http://www.whitehouse.gov/the_press_office/ClosureOfGuantanamoDetentionFacilities/

Sec. 3. Closure of Detention Facilities at Guantánamo. The detention facilities at Guantánamo for individuals covered by this order shall be closed as soon as practicable, and no later than 1 year from the date of this order. If any individuals covered by this order remain in detention at Guantánamo at the time of closure of those detention facilities, they shall be returned to their home country, released, transferred to a third country, or transferred to another United States detention facility in a manner consistent with law and the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States.

We weren't supposed to have any more detainees at Gitmo as of yesterday.

1. The devil is in the details
I imagine if there have been serious attempts to fulfill the executive order that no one will be punished.
