Congress routinely puts strings on money and has since the founding of the Republic including requirements to end foreign involvements. How do you think Vietnam came to an end? Not by Congress ordering the President to leave.

If you think Congress can tell the President to withdraw the troops from somewhere, or cause it to happen in any way but actually cutting off funding completely, you're an idiot.

And if they add it as a condition, the President can sign it and ignore, because the condition would be unconstitutional.
