To justify invading Iraq in the first place, Bush was using UN Resolution 1441.
However UN Security Resolution 1546 in 2004 ended the occupation. Supposedly, the US has said they will leave IF they are asked to by the Iraqi government but they have not been asked ... To be fair I have heard speeches by the Iraqi PM saying that Iraq needs the coalition forces.
There is an interesting wiki article on this ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-invasion_Iraq%2C_2003%E2%80%93present#Legal_status_of_the_coalition_presence
