This rule is often overridden by table stakes rules, so that a player may in fact raise a $5 bet by $2 if that $2 is his entire remaining stake.
The alternative to table stakes rules is called "open stakes", in which players are allowed to buy more chips during the hand and even to borrow money (often called "going light").
Just as in table stakes, no player may remove chips or cash from the table once they are put in play (except small amounts for refreshments, tips, and such)--this includes all markers, whether one's own or those won from other players.

 Poker table stakes rules   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
He may raise to $25, declaring himself all in, but this does not consitute a "real" raise, in the following sense: if a third player now calls the $25, and the first player's turn to act comes up, he must now call the additional $5, but he does not have the right to reraise further.
The all in player's pseudo-raise was really just a call with some extra money, and the third player's call was just a call, so the initial opener's bet was simply called by both remaining players, closing the betting round (even though he must still equalize the money by putting in the additional $5).
Because these rules are complicated (especially when more than one player goes all in, or there are pots to be split because of ties), informal home games often allow players to temporarily borrow money to add to their stake during a hand when necessary, which is called going light.

 Protection (poker) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
If you bet, some or all of them will fold, leaving you with fewer opponents and a better chance of winning.
The term protection is also often heard in the context of an all-in player (see poker table stakes rules), because a bet by any player serves to protect the hand of an all-in player just as it protects the bettor (and possibly more so).
To deliberately make such a bet solely to protect a hand other than your own is a form of collusion.
