plan, containing dates certain, except as provided in subsection (c), 
for the commencement and completion by the Secretary of a phased 
redeployment of United States Armed Forces from Iraq, as well as an 
outline of how the redeployment process will take place, in accordance 
with the factors specified in subsection (b).
    (b) Factors.--In determining the dates certain required under

States Armed Forces from Iraq, the President, in consultation with the 
Secretary of Defense and the Joint Chiefs of Staff, shall take into 
consideration the following:
            (1) The decision of the Government of the United States to 
        dismantle all Iraqi Security Forces, including the Army, 
        police, and border patrol.
            (2) The redeployment of United States Armed Forces should 
        take place as equivalent Iraqi Security Forces become capable.
            (3) Priority in the redeployment process should be given to 
        combat soldiers, to be followed, in an order considered 
        appropriate by the President, in consultation with the 
        Secretary and the Joint Chiefs, by those members of the United 
        States Armed Forces who provide logistics, transportation, 
        medical, or other forms of support.
    (c) Expedited Redeployment Required.--If the President, in 
consultation with the Secretary of Defense and the Joint Chiefs of 
Staff, determines that conditions on the ground in Iraq improve more

certain contained in such plan, the phased redeployment of United 
States Armed Forces from Iraq.
    (d) Iraqi Vote on United States Plan.--Congress encourages the

Representatives or among the Iraqi general voting public not later than 
180 days after the date on which the President transmits the plan 
required under subsection (a), approving or disapproving the plan and 
timeline to redeploy United States Armed Forces from Iraq. Unless 60 
percent of the members of the Council of Representatives or the Iraqi 
general voting public vote to approve the plan and timeline to redeploy 
United States Armed Forces from Iraq, the President should commence the 
phased redeployment of United States Armed Forces from Iraq within 60 
days of the Iraqi vote.

        United States citizens, including members of the United States

        and other terrorist organizations with global reach.
            (4) Training members of the Iraqi Security Forces.
    (f) Determinations.--Not later than 90 days after the date of the 
enactment of this Act, the President shall make and transmit to 
Congress the following determinations, along with reports in classified 
and unclassified form detailing the basis for each determination:
            (1) Whether the Government of Iraq has given United States 
        Armed Forces and Iraqi Security Forces the authority to pursue 
        all extremists, including Sunni insurgents and Shiite militias, 
        and is making substantial progress in delivering necessary 
        Iraqi Security Forces for Baghdad and protecting such Forces 
        from political interference; intensifying efforts to build 
        balanced security forces throughout Iraq that provide even-
        handed security for all Iraqis; ensuring that Iraq's political 
        authorities are not undermining or making false accusations 
        against members of the Iraqi Security Forces; eliminating

        militia disarmament program; ensuring fair and just enforcement 
        of laws; establishing political, media, economic, and service

        eradicating safe havens.
            (2) Whether the Government of Iraq is making substantial 
        progress in meeting its commitment to pursue reconciliation 
        initiatives, including enactment of a hydro-carbon law;
