[QUOTE="CobraKindaGuy, post: 4585952, member: 17748"] I agree with you, the President can do that but the original poster made it sound that the President has Napoleonic powers with absolutely no accountability. If Congress wants to they could recind any troops from any place the President sends them if they they introduce an emergency bill and have it pass both the House and Senate. The President can turn around and veto that vote but then Congress can override the veto with 2/3 vote. But rather than go through all this the Congress has been given the purse strings to any action the President takes. So no funding means no war. And only an absolute idiot President would leave our soldiers there without money to finance their safety and ability to fight. So the Congress has the ultimate last word in it all. And remember, the Congress has voted to make several budgets available for the Iraq war but not as a declared war but under that resolution I previously spoke of. Both the President and Congress has bypassed the Constitution on this one. As a US citizen I am quite concerned about this "Constitutional bypass" because it makes me wonder what else they might try in the future to get around the foundations this country was built upon. Somebody mentioned earlier that we live in a police state. I have to agree when our own government begins to "go around" the US Constitution. That is a direct declaration that they have no respect for it and they will subvert it when they want to to do what they want to. [/QUOTE]
