Can the Senate do this also?
Although the Senate may not be able to do it this quickly, anyone can offer a bill in the senate.
I would offer that Dems have said so many times (based on their almighty polls) that most people want to pull out of Iraq, it was wrong etc etc.
I think this was done in the House to show the representation side of this with a vote of something other than the 100 senators. More population based....
