Proposal
I think that every Senator and House member who voted for the withdrawal deadline in the Iraq funding bill should change his or her name to "Chamberlain."
Aside from that, I think the attempt by Congress to directly control how the President exercises his authority as Commander in Chief of the armed forces is probably unconstitutional. If they've got the guts to defund the war, then so be it, at least the Congress will be squarely taking responsibility for their actions. The action taken yesterday is a cowardly attempt to have it both ways.
