华盛顿讯 —— 参议院周三再次否决了限制特朗普总统对伊朗进一步使用军事力量的尝试,这是自八周前战争爆发以来民主党第五次发起此类行动。
此次解除委员会对该议案搁置状态的动议以46票对51票未能通过。宾夕法尼亚州民主党参议员约翰·费特曼与共和党议员一同投下反对票,而肯塔基州共和党参议员兰德·保罗则与民主党议员一道投了赞成票。
由威斯康星州民主党参议员塔米·鲍德温牵头的这项决议原本将要求总统“将美国武装部队撤出针对伊朗境内或伊朗的敌对行动,除非获得国会正式宣战声明或具体的军事使用授权”。
此次投票前一天,特朗普曾表示,随着最后期限临近,他将延长与伊朗为期两周的停火协议,此前他曾威胁,如果伊朗政权不接受其协议条款,美方将恢复军事打击。参议院少数党领袖查克·舒默在周三投票前表示,尽管他“对停火最后期限得到延长感到宽慰”,但国会必须“抓住这个机会,在战斗重启前阻止这场愚蠢的战争”。
舒默称,民主党将“每周都推动战争权力相关投票,直到共和党人认清现实,帮助我们结束这场战争”。他还表示,这样做“是在帮唐纳德·特朗普一个忙”。
“这场灾难性的战争每多持续一天,唐纳德·特朗普就会在泥潭里陷得越来越深,”他说道。
这位来自纽约州的民主党议员呼吁共和党议员脱离本党立场,支持这项决议,他表示:“如果特朗普不愿从自己挖的泥潭里爬出来,那你们共和党人就应该通过今天投票支持我们的战争权力决议,将他拉出来。”
尽管迄今为止参议院大多数共和党议员都不愿在伊朗问题上与总统决裂,但即将到来的最后期限可能会改变这一态势。
下周,如果没有达成结束冲突的突破性进展,这场战争将迎来60天节点。根据1973年《战争权力决议》,未经国会授权的军事行动时长上限为60天。但如果总统以书面形式向国会证明,出于美国武装部队安全相关的“不可避免的军事必要性”需要延长行动,这一期限可延长至90天。
参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩上周曾表示,共和党团对美国在伊朗取得的成果“相当满意”。当周三被问及如何应对60天节点,以及参议院共和党人是否会考虑通过一项军事使用授权法案时,图恩表示,将“看看”议员们在这个问题上的立场。
“总统仍在法定时限内,我认为他可以单方面延长30天。但我们也在倾听各方意见,”图恩说道。“看起来现在停火协议又延长了一段时间,双方将尝试看看能否达成某种协议。这是最理想的情况。但我们还是要看看议员们的想法。”
Senate defeats Democrats’ 5th attempt to limit Trump’s war powers in Iran

Washington — The Senate rejected another attempt to rein in President Trump’s ability to use further military force against Iran on Wednesday, marking Democrats’ fifth effort to do so since the war began eight weeks ago.
In a 46 to 51 vote, a motion to discharge the measure from committee failed. Democratic Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania voted with Republicans against it,while GOP Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky voted with Democrats in favor.
Led by Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin, the resolution would have directed the president to “remove the United States Armed Forces from hostilities within or against Iran, unless explicitly authorized by a declaration of war or a specific authorization for use of military force.”
The vote came a day after Mr. Trump said he was extending a two-week ceasefire with Iran as the deadline approached, changing course after threatening to resume attacks if the regime didn’t accept his terms for a deal. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said ahead of the vote Wednesday that while he’s “relieved that the ceasefire deadline has been extended,” Congress must “seize this opportunity to stop this blunder before the fighting resumes.”
Schumer said Democrats will continue to force war powers votes “every week until Republicans see reason and help us end this war.” He claimed “they would be doing Donald Trump a favor.”
“Every day this disastrous war continues, Donald Trump digs himself deeper and deeper and deeper into a hole,” he said.
The New York Democrat urged Republicans to break with their party and support the resolution, saying “if Trump won’t dig himself out of the hole he’s dug, you Republicans should pull him out by voting for our war powers resolution today.”
Though the bulk of Senate Republicans have been unwilling to break with the president on Iran so far, an approaching deadline could change the dynamic.
Next week, barring a breakthrough to end the conflict, the war will cross the 60-day mark. Under the 1973 War Powers Resolution, engagements that haven’t been authorized by Congress are capped at 60 days. But that deadline can be pushed to 90 days if the president certifies to Congress in writing that “unavoidable military necessity” related to the safety of U.S. armed forces requires an extension.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune indicated last week that the GOP conference felt “pretty good” about what the U.S. has been able to achieve in Iran. When asked Wednesday how he will approach the 60-day mark and whether Senate Republicans would consider an authorization for use of military force, Thune said “we’ll see” where members are on the issue.
“The president’s still within that allotted time, he can extend it, I think, 30 days unilaterally. But you know, we’re listening,” Thune said. “Sounds like the ceasefire now has been extended a little bit, and they’re going to try and see if they can get some sort of a deal. That’s ideal. But we’ll see where our members are.”
