From the Constitution
Article 2
Section 2
The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to Grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.
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; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.


Connecting to the Constitution


When President Obama was elected into office he made an extreme impact on american history. In his inagural adress he promised to bring the troops in iraq home because it was time for the war to end. This article shows tha Obama sticked to his promise. According to the artcle Obama has brought home over 90,000 troops so far and he still isn't finished. This connects to the constitution because it has to do with the commander in all forces-- which is the president. He has the power to do what he wants with the troops, and right now he wants to bring them home.
