The 'Joint Resolution to Authorize the Use of United States Armed Forces Against Iraq', no longer applies and George Bush should be required to go back to Congress for authorization to remain in Iraq.
The resolution, which was opposed by a majority (58%) of congressional Democrats, had two stated objectives: 1) to defend the United States against Saddam Hussein and 2) enforce U.N. resolutions against Hussein’s government, and obviously, both of those objectives have been met and if Bush wants to stay in Iraq he needs to come back to Congress for the authorization to do so.
And we would see if Congress would fall for those lies again.
