参议员比尔·卡西迪要求就战争进展给出答复，引发一名消息人士称为“七成烈度”的对峙

美国总统唐纳德·特朗普原本计划与参议院共和党议员举行会议，寻求通过选民身份认证和公民身份核查法案，但会议最终演变为围绕伊朗战争的激烈争吵。
参议院共和党人与特朗普之间的紧张关系早已升温，此前特朗普突然否决了《21世纪住房之路法案》——这是一项包含他优先事项的两党住房法案，共和党曾将其视为在即将到来的中期选举中向选民宣传的轻松取胜议题。
特朗普事后对这场闭门会议给出了积极评价。
“我认为我们开了一场非常棒的会议，我们为共和党感到骄傲，”他说，“我们喜欢我们的领袖，真的喜欢房间里的每一个人。我不喜欢几个人，但没关系。我想你们知道他们是谁。”

原本旨在推进《保护美国选民资格（SAVE）美国法案》的会议，演变成特朗普斥责共和党人允许一项限制他伊朗战争权力的战争权决议在周二通过。
这引发了与路易斯安那州联邦参议员比尔·卡西迪的对峙，特朗普今年曾为反对卡西迪而助选并最终使其落选。
“他问道，‘为什么有人会投票支持战争权法案？’”卡西迪事后表示，“在他继续发言时，我说，‘这是反问句，还是你真的想知道答案？’他说，‘我想知道。’”

“我站起来说，‘你没有告诉美国民众实际情况。这场行动本应持续四周，现在已经过去四个月了，’”他继续说道，“‘我们最初的目标尚未实现，我想知道到底发生了什么。’”
随后争吵爆发，卡西迪将其归咎于自己“骨子里的爱尔兰脾气”，最终他被同僚劝坐回座位。
“不过我想说的是，美国民众需要了解更多我们目前被告知之外的信息，”卡西迪说，“参议院需要了解情况，而且虽然我不能确定，但目前的事态发展似乎并不像我们当初被告知的那样走向。”
议员们至今仍未全面了解特朗普与伊朗领导人上周签署的谅解备忘录内容，已对其内容以及该协议能否真正实现本届政府数月前开战之初设定的最终目标提出诸多质疑。

一位知情人士透露，特朗普对战争权决议投票结果极为愤怒，因为这损害了美国政府与伊朗的谈判立场，并且他“点名”了投票支持民主党决议的共和党议员，包括宾夕法尼亚州联邦参议员戴夫·麦科马克——他当天因陪同特朗普出席宾夕法尼亚州的活动而缺席投票。
该消息人士将这场争吵描述为“七成烈度”。
“你知道的，就像课间休息时两个男孩因为篮球场上的犯规互相大喊大叫一样，”他们说道。
与此同时，此次会议召开数小时前，特朗普刚刚取消了《21世纪住房之路法案》的签署仪式，转而迫使共和党人优先推进《SAVE美国法案》。
离场议员表示，会议期间未讨论住房法案，也未就推进《SAVE美国法案》的可行方案展开讨论。参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩（南达科他州共和党）已多次告知特朗普，共和党没有足够票数通过该法案。

图恩在会后表示，特朗普关于《SAVE美国法案》的讨论主要聚焦于“他对该法案的重视程度，以及他认为可以达成目标的途径”。
“所以实际上在这个特定议题上，并没有太多来回交锋，”图恩说。
尽管政治现实是民主党人正在阻挠该法案，且共和党内部并未形成统一阵线废除议事规则强行通过法案，但议员们也并未对特朗普推动立法的意愿提出反对。
“更多是总统在说，‘如果我们不这么做，未来我们会陷入大麻烦，’”西弗吉尼亚州联邦参议员吉姆·贾斯蒂斯（共和党）说，“基本上整场会议的基调就是这样，而非‘你们怎么看？这能通过吗？根本通不过。’”

‘He named names’: Trump’s Senate meeting explodes into shouting match over Iran
Sen Bill Cassidy demanded answers on the war’s progress, sparking what one source called a ‘7 out of 10’ confrontation

President Donald Trump’s meeting with Senate Republicans might have been meant to find a way to pass voter ID and citizenship verification legislation, but it devolved into a tense shouting match over the war in Iran.
Tensions among Senate Republicans were already simmering with Trump over his last-minute decision to nuke the 21st Century Road to Housing Act, a bipartisan housing package filled with his priorities that the GOP viewed as an easy win to sell to voters in the upcoming midterm elections.
Trump described the closed-door affair in a positive light afterward.
“I think we had a really great meeting, and we’re very proud of the party,” he said. “We like our leader. We like everybody, really, in the room. I don’t like a few people, but that’s okay. I think you know who they are.”

What started as a push to pass Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act transformed into Trump railing against Republicans for allowing a war powers resolution handcuffing his authorities in Iran to pass on Tuesday.
And that spurred a confrontation with Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., who Trump campaigned against and defeated earlier this year.
“He asked, ‘why would anybody vote for the War Powers Act?’,” Cassidy said afterward. “As he continued, I said, ‘is that a rhetorical question, or would you like to really know?’ He said, ‘I’d like to know.’”

“I stood and said, ‘you have not told the American people what’s going on. It was supposed to last four weeks, it’s lasted four months,’” he continued. “‘Our original objectives have not been achieved, and I want to know what’s going on.’”
Then began the shouting match, which Cassidy blamed on the “Irish in me,” until ultimately he was asked to sit down by his colleagues.
“I guess my point is, though, that the American people need to know more than we are being told,” Cassidy said. “The Senate needs to know, and it does not appear, although I don’t know for sure, that the course of this is going the way that we were told.”
Lawmakers have still not been fully briefed on the memorandum of understanding Trump and Iranian leaders signed last week, and have raised several issues with its contents and whether it will actually meet the end goals the administration set out to achieve at the start of the war months ago.

A source familiar with the meeting said that Trump was “very animated” over the war powers vote because it hurt the administration’s negotiating position with Iran, and that he “named names” of the Republicans who voted with Democrats, including Sen. Dave McCormick, R-Pa., who was absent from the vote because he was with the president at an event in Pennsylvania.
The source described the shouting match as a “7 out of 10.”
“You know, [like] two boys on recess that are yelling at each other over a foul on a basketball court,” they said.
Meanwhile, the meeting came just hours after Trump blew up a ceremony to sign the 21st Century Road to Housing Act into law on his quest to force Republicans to pass the SAVE America Act.
Lawmakers leaving the meeting said the housing package didn’t come up, and neither did a solution to finding a path forward on passing the SAVE America Act. Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., has told Trump several times that Republicans don’t have the votes to pass it.

Thune said after the meeting that Trump’s discussion on the SAVE America Act was focused on “the priority he places on it, and how the pathway he thinks there is to get an outcome or result.”
“So, it really wasn’t on that particular issue, much of a back and forth,” Thune said.
And lawmakers didn’t push back on Trump’s desire to pass the legislation, either, despite the political reality that Democrats are blocking the bill and there is no unified front from Republicans to nuke the filibuster to ram it through.
“It was more the president saying, ‘If we don’t do this, we’re gonna get ourselves in real trouble going down the road,’” Sen. Jim Justice, R-W.Va., said. “And basically, that was more of the tone than it was, you know, ‘what do y’all think about this? Is this gonna pass? It’s not gonna pass.’”
