It would take the senate to pass the cut in funding or authorization. Bush would then veto it. The dems don't have the required 60 senate votes to override Bush's veto.

Another excuse the dems will use to hide behind in the upcoming election...

My point is the democrats are playing politics, maneuvering for the next election. Right, wrong, troops, and America's best have nothing to do with it. That's why the dems will do nothing to enact their rhetoric.

Here's what you're looking for:
(c) Concurrent resolution for removal by President of United States Armed Forces
Notwithstanding subsection (b) of this section, at any time that United States Armed Forces are engaged in hostilities outside the territory of the United States, its possessions and territories without a declaration of war or specific statutory authorization, such forces shall be removed by the President if the Congress so directs by concurrent resolution.

Now do it.
Before you get too hasty, you might want to think about the consequences of your actions. Maybe look at a bit of history. That majority you have in Congress could be gone with the morning sun. Or the next election.
