Bill that requires Congress approval to increase US troops in Iraq introduced

Yeah, its a political move, but I'll take it.

A top Senate Democrat introduced legislation on Tuesday that would require US President George W. Bush to get congressional approval before sending additional US troops to Iraq.

In a statement, the office of Senator Chris Dodd said the original US military mission in Iraq, which Congress authorised in 2002, "has been radically transformed by events in the region," and that Bush therefore must seek an entirely new authorisation from the US legislature before expanding it.

Hoping ya'll don't take me as anal, even though I am, shouldn't that headline read "Congress's" approval or "Congressional" approval or "approval of Congress"? Just asking.
