That is what we need to start calling our current president, President VETO... He most certainly can and will.

Yes. According to The Constitution the President is the Commander-in-Chief. The only option open to Congress is to withhold funding for the war in Iraq. They cannot order The President to pullout the troops (it's all a show).

Yes and no.
If Congress orders him to pull out the troops, using their Article I Section 8 powers to regulate the military, he can veto that bill. Congress can then attempt to override with 2/3 vote.
If Congress refuses to fund the occupation any more, using their Article I Section 8 powers to control federal funding, then no he cannot. The executive cannot compel legislation. He can only approve or veto legislation that Congress passes.
So, Congress can force a troop pull-out at any point, by simply turning off the money train.
The fact that they don't shows that they are ineffective.

A President may veto anything that come to him in the form of a bill that will become law. If Congress passes such legislation a veto will likely not be sufficient because by then the Republicans will defect in sufficient numbers to override it. If Congress just passes a resolution calling for withdrawal then it is just a tool (in this case) to make Bush look even worse (if that is possible) when he ignores it.

Yes. He just needs 2/3 of Congress to defeat his veto.

below our shape, the two properties of Congress, the living house and the Senate would desire to bypass a bill and deliver it to the President to be signed into regulation. would desire to the President veto it, it might return to the living house and Senate for a sparkling vote. If vetoed, a bill van replace into regulation, yet on condition that 2-thirds of all contributors of the two properties of Congess vote in want of overriding the President's veto.
