在与伊朗持续对峙之际，民主党人对本党部分人士此前呼吁美军“拒绝非法命令”的言论不予理会，尽管他们普遍认为，特朗普总统未经国会批准动用军队的行为法律基础薄弱。
“美军将士绝不该为这场非法战争负责，责任完全、且仅仅在于总统，”康涅狄格州民主党参议员理查德·布卢门撒尔说道。
“我们始终支持美军将士，他们只是在执行命令，”佛罗里达州民主党众议员达伦·索托说道，“这本质上是关于我们是否应该介入这场冲突的辩论。”
这番言论发表仅数月前，六名有军方背景的国会议员曾敦促军人无视违宪指令。

“你们必须拒绝非法命令，”密歇根州民主党参议员伊丽莎·斯洛特金说道，“不要放弃这艘船。”
这六名议员包括：斯洛特金、亚利桑那州民主党参议员马克·凯利、宾夕法尼亚州民主党众议员克里斯·德鲁齐奥、新罕布什尔州民主党众议员玛吉·古兰德、宾夕法尼亚州民主党众议员克里斯蒂·胡拉汉，以及科罗拉多州民主党众议员杰森·克劳。
当被福克斯新闻数字频道问及这些呼吁在当前伊朗冲突背景下有何含义时，这些议员未立即置评。
与伊朗交战一个月——华盛顿能否界定胜利？
一项旨在限制特朗普对伊朗军事权力的战争权力决议未能通过，原因是在总统的行动是否符合宪法规定的无需国会批准的冲突范围内这一问题上，两党存在严重分歧。
一项原本会迫使特朗普将美军从伊朗撤出的战争权力决议于周四在众议院以213票对214票的结果未能通过。
民主党人援引1973年《战争权力法案》指出，该法律要求总统在持续超过60天的冲突前获得国会议员的批准。

“总统称这是一场‘短暂行动’，但事实并非如此，”伊利诺伊州民主党众议员乔纳森·杰克逊说道，“我们必须实事求是地看待它，这就是一场战争。”
共和党人和这场冲突的其他支持者指出，与伊朗的战争尚未达到这一期限。
宾夕法尼亚州民主党参议员约翰·费特曼与共和党人一道，驳回了对总统权力的质疑。

“我是唯一支持‘史诗之怒’行动的民主党人，”费特曼说道，这里指的是此次伊朗冲突的行动代号。
“如今这场行动已经持续48天，所有行为都不违法，”他补充道。
即便如此，民主党人仍抨击总统将美国拖入一场他们称远未达成有意义解决方案的冲突。
布卢门撒尔呼吁政府向议员提供更多有关可能的结束冲突时间表的信息，以及更多关于冲突现状的细节。

“其中一项抱怨——两党都有——我们没有任何准确信息，了解封锁行动进展如何，战争的代价是什么，哪怕是在保密环境下也没有，”布卢门撒尔说道。
尽管特朗普表示，美国和伊朗的谈判正朝着永久结束冲突的方向推进，但目前仍不清楚停火谈判能否达成永久停止敌对行动的协议。

Dems sidestep past ‘refuse illegal orders’ demands as they challenge Trump’s Iran war authority

Amid ongoing hostilities with Iran, Democrats brushed off past calls from some figures in their party for U.S. armed forces to “refuse illegal orders,” even as they broadly maintained that President Donald Trump’s use of the military is on shaky footing without lawmaker approval.
“The troops are in no way to blame for this illegal war. Responsibility lies solely and simply with the president,” Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., said.
“We support the troops always. They’re following orders,” Rep. Daren Soto, D-Fla., said. “This is about a debate of whether we should be there or not.”
The comments come just months after six members of Congress with military backgrounds urged service members to disregard unconstitutional directives.

“You must refuse illegal orders,” Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., said. “Don’t give up the ship.”
The six lawmakers included: Slotkin, Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., Rep. Chris Deluzio, D-Pa., Rep. Maggie Goodlander, D-N.H., Rep. Chrissy Houlahan, D-Pa., and Rep. Jason Crow, D-Colo.
The lawmakers did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s requests for comment when asked about what those calls meant in the context of the conflict with Iran.
ONE MONTH AT WAR WITH IRAN — CAN WASHINGTON DEFINE VICTORY?
Efforts to pass a war powers resolution that would curb Trump’s military powers in Iran have failed amid a steep partisan divide over whether the president’s actions fall within what the Constitution permits without congressional approval.
A war power resolution that would have forced Trump to remove U.S. forces from Iran failed in the House of Representatives in a 213-214 vote on Thursday.
Democrats, citing the War Powers Act of 1973, note that the law requires a president to secure approval from lawmakers before engaging in a conflict that goes past 60 days.

“The president says it’s an ‘excursion’ which it’s not,” Rep. Jonathan Jackson, D-Ill., said. “We have to call it for what it is. It is a war.”
Republicans and other advocates for the conflict have noted the war with Iran hasn’t hit that mark yet.
Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., joined Republicans in rebuffing challenges to the president’s authority.

“I’ve been the only Democrat who has supported Epic Fury,” Fetterman said, referring to the Iran conflict’s operational name.
“And now we’re 48 days into this. None of this has been illegal,” he added.
Even so, Democrats have blasted the president for dragging the country into a conflict that they say is far from a meaningful resolution.
Blumenthal called on the administration to provide lawmakers with more information about a possible timeline for resolution and more details about the conflict’s status.

“One of the complaints — and it’s bipartisan — we don’t have any accurate information about how the blockade is going, what the costs of the war are, even in a classified setting,” Blumenthal said.
Although Trump has said U.S. and Iran talks are working towards ending the conflict for good, it remains unclear if ceasefire talks will render a permanent cessation of hostilities.
