Biden/Hagel/Levin - that was the Jan 2007 resolution expressing the thoughts of the Senate as to prior resolution called the IWR. I'm not sure that a resolution, while good enough to get us into war, and a law in 2002 (Public law 107-243),is strong enough legally to get us out - but then perhaps nothing is.

Biden/Hagel/Levin resolution at the time seemed to be a rather timid approach, but perhaps timid was needed at the time as Dems take time and effort and small steps to develop a spine these days. And perhaps a second resolution would have done the trick.

Hillary's law does indeed sound like a repeat of Biden/Hagel/Levin.

But House impeachment is majority vote - and is the only thing we can accomplish these days until the next election in 08.
