Shouldn't that have been the ultimatum given to Iraq to stay in session until they make a decision?

The U.S. Constitution doesn't give Bush the power to keep Iraq's parliament in session.

Better question is: Why do the Administration and Congress criticize Iraq's Parliament for going on vacation for a month the week that Congress does?

Get real!
U.S. Congress in the latest poll has a 3% approval rating on the Iraq war. Are you one of the 3%?

because two wrongs don't make a right. but i agree that the best idea would be to keep Iraqi Parliament in session and send U.S. Congress on a two year vacation.

Because Bush is used to giving orders to Congress, and thinks they are completely subservient to his unilateral will.
And so far, there doesn't appear to be much to challenge that conclusion....
But also see Article I Section 3, where the president "may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene both Houses"...

Bush can't tell the Iraqui parliment to staay in session.
And... if he did... they would just tell hm no.
However... the US Presiden CAN set some conditions on the Congress going into recess... Within the limits of his authority under our constitution.
Try paying attention in you High School social sciences classes.

Bush doesn't need the Iraqi Parliament to trample over the US constitution. He did need the House though.

Are you kidding? Congress has more days off than the majority of Americans and make a hell of allot more to boot.If anyone deserves a day off it is the Military.

Because Bush is having one of his trademark temper tantrums when he doesn't get his way. Basically Congress isn't going to roll over and be his obedient rubber stamp, so he acts like a spoiled 12 year old.
