  • 民主党人反对未经国会批准就开战
  • 法案未获得推进所需的100票中的60票
  • 许多民主党人还反对特朗普的国防拨款规模

华盛顿7月14日电(路透社)——美国参议院民主党人周二阻挠了一项1.15万亿美元的年度国防政策法案,理由是对伊朗战争感到不满,以及唐纳德·特朗普总统就派遣美军参战的决定未与国会协商。

“特朗普发动这场战争未经授权、没有战略,也没有撤军计划,”参议院民主党领袖、纽约州参议员查克·舒默在宣布将投反对票的参议院演讲中表示。

这项针对《国防授权法案》(NDAA)的程序性投票未获通过。尽管赞成票以50票对46票超过反对票,但该法案未能达到100名参议员中推进法案所需的60票门槛。

投票结果沿党派阵线划分。除了参议院共和党多数党领袖、南达科他州的约翰·图恩以外,所有共和党人都投票支持推进该法案。根据参议院规则,图恩投下反对票只是为了能够提出重新审议的动议。

上月军事委员会审议该法案时,有9名民主党委员会成员投票反对该法案,因此该法案此前就被预计会受阻。《国防授权法案》通常以强劲的两党支持获得通过。

民主党人担心,批准巨额五角大楼预算会被视为认可美国和以色列于2月28日发动空袭开始的对伊朗战争。

此次投票之际,特朗普政府表示已重新实施对所有伊朗港口的海上封锁,这是冲突升级的最新举动,并开始了新一轮空袭。

民主党人还反对特朗普政府将军事开支增至1.5万亿美元的计划,尽管美国的社会项目正在被削减。除了《国防授权法案》中批准的1.15万亿美元外,特朗普还要求国会通过预算和解程序再提供3500亿美元资金,这一程序无需民主党支持即可通过拨款。

在敦促议员支持该法案的讲话中,图恩指责民主党人将政治置于国家安全之上。

“这项法案有助于确保我们的军队时刻做好准备,应对当下和未来的挑战,”他说。

今年的《国防授权法案》批准了前所未有的1.15万亿美元国防预算,内容涵盖从采购舰船、飞机和导弹系统的数量,到军人加薪,以及如何应对地缘政治威胁等方方面面。

长期以来被两党视为“必须通过的立法”的《国防授权法案》是少数几项总能获得通过的重大法案之一,六十多年来每年都会成为法律。

尽管遭遇挫折,但《国防授权法案》的审议进程仍处于早期阶段。每年,众议院和参议院都会各自通过版本的《国防授权法案》,随后由军事委员会的谈判人员达成妥协版本,再提交两院投票。

如果妥协版本获得通过,将被送交白宫,由唐纳德·特朗普总统签署成为法律或行使否决权。

  • Democrats object to waging war with no congressional OK
  • Bill did not secure 60 of the 100 votes it needed to advance
  • Many Democrats also object to size of Trump’s defense ​request

WASHINGTON, July 14 (Reuters) – U.S. Senate Democrats blocked a $1.15 trillion annual defense policy bill on Tuesday, citing ‌frustration with the Iran war and President Donald Trump’s failure to consult with Congress about his decision to send U.S. forces into the conflict.

“Trump started this war without authorization, without a strategy, and without an exit,” Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, the Senate’s Democratic leader, said in ​a Senate speech announcing he would vote no.

The procedural vote on the National Defense Authorization Act, or NDAA, failed. ​Even though the yes votes outnumbered no votes by 50-46, the bill fell short of the ⁠60 votes needed to move ahead in the 100-member Senate.

The vote was along party lines. Every Republican voted in favor ​of moving ahead except for the chamber’s Republican majority leader, John Thune of South Dakota, who voted no under Senate rules ​only in order to enter a motion to reconsider.

The bill had been expected to stall, after nine Democratic members of the Armed Services Committee voted against the NDAA when the panel considered it last month. The NDAA typically passes with strong bipartisan support.

Democrats are concerned that authorizing ​a huge Pentagon budget would be seen as approval of the war on Iran that began with strikes by the ​U.S. and Israel on February 28.

The vote came just as Trump the administration said it had reimposed a naval blockade of all Iranian ports ‌in the ⁠latest escalation of the conflict and began a fresh round of strikes.

Democrats also object to the Trump administration’s push to increase military spending to a total of $1.5 trillion, even as social programs for Americans are being cut. Besides the $1.15 trillion authorized in the NDAA, Trump has asked for another $350 billion from Congress under the budget reconciliation process, which would allow the funding to ​pass without Democratic support.

In remarks ​urging support, Thune accused Democrats ⁠of putting politics ahead of security.

“It’s the bill that helps ensure our military is ready today and prepared for tomorrow,” he said.

This year’s NDAA authorizes an unprecedented $1.15 trillion for defense, determining ​everything from how many ships, aircraft and missile systems are bought to pay raises for ​the troops and ⁠how to address geopolitical threats.

Historically seen by both parties as “must-pass legislation,” the NDAA is one of the few major bills that always passes, having become law annually for more than six decades.

Despite the setback, it is early in the NDAA process. Each year, ⁠the House ​of Representatives and Senate pass their own versions of the NDAA, before ​Armed Services committee negotiators reach a compromise version that then comes up for a vote in each chamber.

If the compromise version passes, it would be sent ​to the White House for President Donald Trump to sign into law or veto.
