President Obama had been opposed to the war in Iraq, even when he was a senator, and one of his campaign promises was that if he was elected president, he would begin withdrawing troops from Iraq. This did not happen because of any bill; it happened because of a policy that he designed and then implemented. The president first worked with his generals and his Secretary of Defense to create a sensible strategy; he then gave the order (as Commander in Chief) to begin reducing the number of troops, as he said he would.
