3. I agree that the AUMF should be repealed. Unfortunately, that would not have much
of a practical effect. It would do much to isolate the President, however. Then, the Congress should threaten to slowly eliminate funding for the Iraq War unless Bush pulls out.

With the majority of America and Congress opposed to staying in Iraq and with an explicit resolution from Congress rescinding any authorization - explicit and implicit - to continue, I believe President Bush would begin withdrawing.
