01 · The brief
Plain-English summaryWhat this bill actually does

<p>Expresses the sense of Congress that: (1) the government of Iraq should hold a vote in the Iraqi Council of Representatives or among the Iraqi public to approve or disapprove the continued deployment of U.S. Armed Forces to Iraq; and (2) unless 60% of the members of the Iraqi Council of Representatives or the Iraqi public approve such deployment the President of the United States should begin the phased redeployment of U.S. Armed Forces within 60 days of such vote. </p>

Why people may split

The main political fault lines are not fully surfaced yet, so coalition durability is still unclear.

Watch point

The next hurdle is converting committee movement into a floor coalition.
