Under procedures released by the White House the military custody requirement can be waived in a wide variety of cases. Among the waiver possibilities are the following: The suspect's home country objects to military custody The suspect is arrested for conduct conducted in the United States The suspect is originally charged with a non-terrorism offense The suspect was originally arrested by state or local law enforcement A transfer to military custody could interfere with efforts to secure cooperation or confession A transfer would interfere with a joint trial Actions from the White House and Senate leading to the vote The White House threatened to veto the Senate version of the Act, arguing in an executive statement on November 17, 2011, that while "the authorities granted by the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Terrorists, including the detention authority ... are essential to our ability to protect the American people ... (and) Because the authorities codified in this section already exist, the Administration does not believe codification is necessary and poses some risk".

The White House may now waive the requirement for military custody for some detainees following a review by appointed officials including the Attorney General, the secretaries of state, defense and homeland security, the chairman of the military's Joint Chiefs of Staff and the director of national intelligence.

The amendment was rejected by a vote of 60–38 (with 2 abstaining). Udall subsequently voted for the
