The article was about how Presidnet Obama was able to get a mojority of the troops out of Iraq. It always gave reason to why the war begun when the spetember eleventh attacks happend. The previous president Bush decided to declare war in Iraq. The article even stated how the President only was elected because of his promise to end the war. Obama is even going to begin a new operation and teach the Iraqi millitia to defend and protect their countries.

Article 2 section 2 He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur.... .The president has the right with the approval of congress to end a war. The power is given to the Executive branch since te presidnt is the commander in cheif. He is also in control of naval forces. These constitutional rights are given to the executive branch.

I think this article is showing the amount of power the Executive branch has. With the right to end wars and make treaties it is really a heavy responsibility. I think pulling the troops out of iraq was a good idea but it will have some serious issues in the long run. Its gonna make the lives of the Iraq people very difficult. A problem could be since legislative branch can declare war that can allow them to underly the Executive branch and declare war all over again.
