War Powers?


What can Congress do you? Pretty much nothing. Interesting article here about Iraq and Congress. I did like the paragraph below.

Can Congress tell the president how to fight in Iraq? Should it?

"Congress, though, is not yet prepared to demand an immediate and total pullout from Iraq. Neither are the American people, who seem to understand that precipitate withdrawal could turn the present civil war into a conflict of international scope. The Democratic unwillingness to push the president all the way to the wall reflects the broader political will — at least for the moment."
