I promise a full outline of the processes underlying the non-binding resolutions against the surge in Iraq in the near future, but for now consider it to be a great illustration of the intent of the Constitution's framers.
The House very neatly dispatched the resolution, reflecting the will of the electorate of 2006. The Senate is still resisting the resolution, but this may be because--as we know--only one third faced the electorate in 2006. The others are there to express the will of the electorate of 2004 or 2002.
In case you want to sound smart the next time someone complains about Congress not being able to reflect the will of the people, you might want to bring this up.
You don't have to mention me.
