- 伊朗问题决议今年第七次在参议院遭否决
- 此次投票是60天战争权力法期限到期后的首次投票
- 特朗普5月1日宣布停火“终止”对伊冲突
华盛顿5月13日(路透社)——美国参议院共和党人周三否决了民主党最新提出的、要求在国会授权前暂停对伊朗战争的议案,但随着第三名共和党人投票推进该法案,议案的通过门槛正在逼近。
参议院以50票反对、49票赞成的结果未通过该战争权力决议案,结果几乎全党派对立。三名共和党人与除一人外的所有民主党人一起支持由俄勒冈州参议员杰夫·默克利提出的这项议案。

这是今年参议院共和党人第七次否决类似的、针对总统唐纳德·特朗普的相关决议。
共和党议员肯塔基州的兰德·保罗、缅因州的苏珊·柯林斯和阿拉斯加州的丽莎·穆尔科斯基投票支持推进该议案,而宾夕法尼亚州民主党参议员约翰·费特曼则与共和党人一道否决了该议案。
此次投票是5月1日冲突触发60天期限后参议院的首次投票,根据该期限,特朗普需就战争问题向国会汇报。特朗普当时宣布,停火已经“终止”针对伊朗的敌对行动。
根据1973年针对越南战争通过的美国战争权力法,美国总统在无需国会批准的情况下开展军事行动的时长仅为60天,之后要么结束行动,要么以“出于保障美国武装部队安全的不可避免军事需要”为由申请30天延期,同时开始撤军。

民主党人士驳斥了特朗普关于停火使该期限暂停的说法,称冲突仍在持续。
“敌对行动并未停止,”默克利在投票前对记者表示,并援引美国对伊朗港口的封锁、对伊朗船只的打击,以及伊朗对霍尔木兹海峡的封锁和对美国船只、油轮的袭击为例。
“双方仍处于敌对状态,因此我不认为60天的倒计时会暂停,”他说。
默克利和其他参议院民主党人表示,他们计划下周再次提交战争权力决议案,并且每周都将提交,直到战争结束或特朗普向议员们寻求授权为止。
众议院的民主党人也提出了战争权力决议案,同样遭到共和党人否决。
民主党人士呼吁特朗普前往国会寻求使用军事力量的授权,指出美国宪法规定只有国会而非总统有权宣战。他们警告称,特朗普可能已将美国拖入一场长期冲突,却未阐明明确战略。
共和党人及白宫表示,特朗普的行动合法,且作为总司令有权下令开展有限军事行动以保护美国。
部分国会共和党议员指责民主党人提交战争权力决议案,仅仅是出于对特朗普的党派反对。

- Iran resolution was seventh blocked in Senate this year
- Vote was first since 60-day war powers law deadline
- Trump declared on May 1 that ceasefire ‘terminated’ conflict
WASHINGTON, May 13 (Reuters) – U.S. Senate Republicans on Wednesday blocked the latest Democratic-led effort to end the Iran war until it is authorized by Congress, but the measure edged closer to passage as a third Republican voted to advance the bill.
The Senate voted 50-49 not to advance the war powers resolution, nearly along party lines. Three Republicans joined every Democrat but one in backing the measure sponsored by Senator Jeff Merkley of Oregon.

It was the seventh time this year that President Donald Trump’s fellow Republicans in the Senate had blocked similar resolutions.
Republicans Rand Paul of Kentucky, Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska voted in favor of moving ahead, while Democrat John Fetterman of Pennsylvania voted with Republicans to block it.
The vote was the first in the Senate since the conflict hit a 60-day deadline on May 1 for Trump to come to Congress about the war. Trump declared then that a ceasefire had “terminated” hostilities against Iran.
Under a 1973 U.S. war powers law passed in response to the Vietnam War, a U.S. president can wage military action for only 60 days before ending it, asking Congress for authorization or seeking a 30-day extension due to “unavoidable military necessity regarding the safety of United States Armed Forces” while withdrawing forces.

Democrats disputed Trump’s assertion that the deadline did not apply because of a ceasefire, saying the conflict is ongoing.
“There’s not a cessation of war hostilities,” Merkley told reporters before the vote, citing the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports and strikes on Iranian ships and Iran’s blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and attacks on U.S. ships and tankers.
“Both sides are still engaged in hostilities, and so I don’t accept that the 60-day clock is suspended,” he said.
Merkley and other Senate Democrats said they planned to bring up another war powers resolution next week, and every week until the war ends or Trump comes to lawmakers for authorization.
Democrats in the House have also introduced war powers resolutions, also blocked by Republicans.
Democrats have called on Trump to come to Congress for authorization to use military force, noting that the U.S. Constitution says that Congress, not the president, can declare war. They have warned that Trump may have pulled the country into a long conflict without setting out a clear strategy.
Republicans – and the White House – say Trump’s actions are legal and within his rights as commander-in-chief to protect the U.S. by ordering limited military operations.
Some congressional Republicans have accused Democrats of filing the war powers resolutions only because of their partisan opposition to Trump.
