华盛顿4月9日（路透社）——美国众议院共和党人周四阻挠了民主党终止美国对伊朗军事打击的提案，唐纳德·特朗普所在的政党继续阻止限制这位共和党总统战争权力的行动。
新泽西州共和党众议员克里斯·史密斯主持了一场简短的“形式主义”众议院会议，在一群民主党人试图通过一致同意程序通过该决议前便宣布休会。

参众两院的民主党人近几个月来多次尝试通过战争权力决议，要求特朗普在对委内瑞拉和伊朗发起军事行动前获得议员授权，但均以失败告终。
特朗普本周早些时候发出“整个文明都将覆灭”的威胁，加剧了民主党人的担忧，数十名民主党人呼吁罢免特朗普。1949年《日内瓦公约》关于战争中人道主义行为的条款禁止袭击被视为对平民至关重要的目标。
“威胁实施种族灭绝绝非谈判策略，”加利福尼亚州民主党众议员萨拉·雅各布斯在形式主义会议结束后在国会大厦外的新闻发布会上表示。此次会议召开之际，国会正处于为期两周的复活节休会期，不在华盛顿。

特朗普于周二宣布，他已同意美国-以色列对伊朗的战争停火，距离他设定的伊朗重新开放被封锁的霍尔木兹海峡否则将袭击其民用基础设施的最后期限不到两小时。
白宫表示，特朗普的行动合法，且作为总司令有权下令有限军事行动以保护美国利益。
伊朗方面称其核计划完全和平。特朗普政府试图将这场战争描绘成一场决定性胜利，但美国最高将领表示美军已准备好恢复战斗。
特朗普的共和党同僚在参众两院均占据微弱多数席位，且几乎一致支持他的所有政策。
尽管美国宪法规定宣战权属于国会而非总统，但这一限制不适用于短期军事行动，或国家面临直接威胁的情况。

WASHINGTON, April 9 (Reuters) – U.S. House of Representatives Republicans on Thursday blocked a Democratic effort to end U.S. attacks on Iran, as Donald Trump’s party continued to prevent efforts to rein in the Republican president’s war powers.
Representative Chris Smith, a New Jersey Republican, presided over an abbreviated “pro forma” House session, ending it before a group of Democrats could seek to pass the resolution via unanimous consent.

Democrats in the Senate and House of Representatives have tried and repeatedly failed in recent months to pass war powers resolutions to force Trump to obtain lawmakers’ authorization before launching military operations, in both Venezuela and Iran.
Trump’s threat early this week that “a whole civilization will die” intensified concern from Democrats, dozens of whom called for Trump’s removal from office. The 1949 Geneva Conventions on humanitarian conduct in war prohibit attacks on sites considered essential for civilians.
“Threatening genocide is not a negotiating tactic,” Representative Sara Jacobs, a California Democrat, told a news conference outside the Capitol after the pro forma session, held because Congress is out of Washington for the two-week Easter recess.

Trump announced that he had agreed to a ceasefire in the U.S.-Israel war on Iran on Tuesday, less than two hours before his deadline for Tehran to reopen the blockaded Strait of Hormuz or face devastating attacks on its civilian infrastructure.
The White House says Trump’s actions are legal and within his rights as commander-in-chief to protect the U.S. by ordering limited military operations.
Iran says its nuclear program is peaceful. The Trump administration has sought to portray the war as a decisive victory, although the top U.S. general said U.S. troops stood ready to resume fighting.
Trump’s fellow Republicans hold slim majorities in both the Senate and House, and have almost unanimously backed all of his policies.
Although the U.S. Constitution says that Congress, not the president, can declare war, that restriction does not apply for short-term operations or if the country faces an immediate threat.
