The 2012 NDAA, which is also very bad!, fwiw is citing the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force, which was pre-Obama and was cited by the Bush admin (in defense of the flagrant denials of due process which they, again,
were already doing in 2006) when this stuff came up in court. It's literally a reassertion of tricks Bush had already pulled.
