HeadlineJan 31, 2007

The Senate is expected to take up a nonbinding resolution against the White House’s handling of the Iraq War later today. Meanwhile, Senator Russ Feingold said he would introduce a measure barring funding for the war over a six-month period.

Sen. Russ Feingold: “This hearing has shown that this legislation is fully consistent with the Constitution of the United States. Congress should enact it, and soon.”

Other measures continue to arise. On Tuesday, Democratic Senator Barack Obama introduced a bill calling for the withdrawal of all U.S. troops by April of next year.
