justice; and 
Whereas President Bush’s claim that he is empowered by the 
Constitution to negotiate and conclude detailed arrange-

the United States and Iraq without any role for Congress 
reflects a profound misreading of the Constitution and 
conflicts with the position of President-elect Obama that 
any agreement governing the status of United States

States of America and the Republic of Iraq on the 
Withdrawal of United States Forces from Iraq and 
the Organization of Their Activities During Their 
Temporary Presence in Iraq, signed on November

binding on the United States or obligating the Con-
