华盛顿，5月21日（路透社）——美国众议院共和党领袖意外取消了原定于周四进行的一项决议投票，该决议旨在终止伊朗战争，除非唐纳德·特朗普总统获得国会授权。就在两天前，一项类似提案在参议院获得通过。
此次投票原定于周四傍晚举行，就在议员们离开华盛顿参加阵亡将士纪念日休会之前。

今年早些时候，众议院曾以微弱票数否决了三项此前的战争权力决议，几乎所有共和党议员都投了反对票，凸显了党内对伊朗战争以及总统的强力支持。
但自2月28日美国和以色列开始打击伊朗以来，随着时间推移，投票差距变得越来越小——最后一项决议以平局投票失败。鉴于预计会有少数共和党议员倒戈，以及其他议员缺席，周四的这项提案看起来很可能会通过。
“我们毫无疑问已经拿到了足够票数，他们也清楚这一点，”众议院外交委员会最高民主党议员格雷戈里·米克斯在投票取消后对记者表示。
他表示，众议院共和党领袖已将投票推迟至6月初，也就是阵亡将士纪念日休会结束后。
民主党人和少数共和党人呼吁特朗普前往国会寻求使用军事力量的授权，他们指出，美国宪法规定，只有国会而非总统才能宣战。他们担忧特朗普可能会让美国陷入长期冲突，却没有制定明确战略。
大多数共和党人和白宫表示，特朗普的行动合法，且符合他作为总司令的权限，可以下令开展有限军事行动以阻止迫在眉睫的威胁，以此保护美国。
共和党在参众两院都仅占据微弱多数席位。
周二，参议院通过了另一项类似的战争权力决议，这是对特朗普罕见的反对。这项推进该提案进行进一步投票的程序性表决结果为50票赞成、47票反对，四名共和党议员与除一人外的所有参议院民主党议员投了赞成票。三名共和党议员缺席了此次投票。

US House Republicans cancel Iran war powers vote

WASHINGTON, May 21 (Reuters) – Republican leaders of the U.S. House of Representatives unexpectedly canceled a vote on Thursday on a resolution seeking to end the Iran war unless President Donald Trump obtains Congress’ authorization, two days after a similar measure advanced in the U.S. Senate.
The vote had been scheduled to take place late Thursday afternoon, just before lawmakers left Washington for their Memorial Day recess.

The House had blocked three previous war powers resolutions in close votes earlier this year, with near-unanimous support from Republicans, underscoring the strong backing for the Iran war and the president within his party.
But the margins had become increasingly narrow – the last resolution failed on a tie vote – as weeks passed since the U.S. and Israel began striking Iran on February 28. Thursday’s measure looked likely to pass, given expected defections by a handful of Republicans and the absences of others.
“We had the votes without question, and they knew it,” Representative Gregory Meeks, the top Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, told reporters after the vote was canceled.
He said the chamber’s Republican leaders had delayed the vote until early June, after the Memorial Day recess.
Democrats, and a few Republicans, 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 expressed concerns that Trump may have entered the country into a long conflict without setting out a clear strategy.
Most 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 to stop imminent threats.
Republicans control narrow majorities in both the House and Senate.
On Tuesday, the Senate advanced a separate, but similar, war powers resolution, in a rare rebuke of Trump. That procedural vote on whether to advance the measure for further votes was 50 to 47, as four of Trump’s fellow Republicans voted with every Senate Democrat but one in favor. Three Republicans missed that vote.
