Democrats move to limit Bush's authority« Thread Started on Feb 23, 2007, 6:01pm » --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Democrats move to limit Bush's authority[ 24 Feb, 2007 0033hrs ISTAP ]read at sourceRSS Feeds| SMS NEWS to 8888 for latest updates WASHINGTON: Four years ago, Congress passed legislation authorizing President Bush to go to war in Iraq. Now Senate Democrats want to take it back. Key lawmakers, backed by party leaders, are drafting legislation that would effectively revoke the broad authority granted to the president in the days Saddam Hussein was in power, and leave US troops with a limited mission as they prepare to withdraw. Officials said on Thursday that the precise wording of the measure remains unsettled. One version would restrict American troops in Iraq to fighting Al Qaida, training Iraqi army and police forces, maintaining Iraq's territorial integrity and otherwise proceeding with the withdrawal of combat forces. Majority Leader Harry Reid , Democrat-Nevada, intends to present the proposal to fellow Democrats next week, and he is expected to try to add the measure to anti-terrorism legislation scheduled to be debated later this month.
