西点军校毕业生、曾在陆军服役的共和党众议员戴维森还记得，美国当年未经国会授权就发动了科索沃战争。
这也是他决定竞选美国国会议员的部分原因。
周四，戴维森是仅有的两名投票支持民主党、反对总统唐纳德·特朗普的共和党人之一，他推动限制总统的战争权力，并要求白宫在继续对伊朗采取军事行动前寻求国会批准。

可以肯定的是，戴维森并不习惯与总统立场相反。但这位俄亥俄州共和党人表示，他的投票是为了提醒特朗普，自己曾公开反对无休止的战争。
共和党最终否决了这项努力，但戴维森在投票前接受CNN采访时表示，他的投票也是为了向那些对战争行动犹豫的保守派保证，国会中仍有共和党代表在倾听他们的声音。
他说，自己传递的信息很简单：“嘿，仍然有人在听你们的意见。”

尽管他和坚定的反干涉主义者托马斯·马西（Thomas Massie）是仅有的两名支持民主党战争权力提案的共和党人，但戴维森表示，许多共和党同事在幕后也表达了类似的担忧。他指出，如果与伊朗的战争在未经授权的情况下持续60天，可能会引发宪法危机。
“看到有和我持相同观点的人，我感到很鼓舞。我可能是唯一一个在这项决议上投下此票的人，但‘行动派’（注：原文‘movement’指推动战争权力监督的群体）中有很多人都有类似担忧。”戴维森告诉CNN。
这位俄亥俄州共和党人的决定并非轻易做出，而且受到了众议院共和党领导层和特朗普政府的双重压力。
本周早些时候，在参加众议院关于美国打击伊朗的秘密简报会前，戴维森原本愿意被说服跟随党内多数派投票。但他提出了至少两个条件：一是他需要了解总统收到的情报，正是这些情报让他在历史上一直反对战争的情况下决定介入冲突；二是他需要知道当前行动的限制条件。
简报会上，戴维森起身提问，当时在场的消息人士告诉CNN。
戴维森拒绝向CNN透露具体问题，但他表示，政府已经公开解释了特朗普为何认为此时应采取行动，但尚未说明冲突的具体限制条件。
第二天早上，戴维森在闭门会议中就美国宪法第一条和国会在授权使用军事力量方面的作用与众议院议长迈克·约翰逊（Mike Johnson）发生争执，知情人士向CNN透露了这一交流。
此后，众议院共和党领导层继续与戴维森保持沟通，认为他可能改变立场，一名共和党领导层助手告诉CNN。
但周三晚些时候，戴维森在众议院发表声明，宣布将违背党内领导意愿，支持战争权力决议。

“我以军人的热情热爱这个国家，”戴维森在众议院发表讲话时说，“我今天支持这项战争权力决议，因为政府若不再受宪法约束而产生的‘道德风险’，是对国家的严重威胁。”
与加州民主党众议员罗·科哈尼（Ro Khanna）共同牵头提出该法案的肯塔基州共和党人马西，早已习惯因高调反对总统而成为党内孤立者。他对戴维森坚持信念的勇气表示赞赏。
“我早已不在乎‘施压运动’了，现在他们只想让我‘出局’（注：原文‘unselect you’指将其从党内候选人名单中除名）。”马西说，“任何与我站在同一阵线、捍卫宪法和竞选承诺的人，都面临巨大压力。但沃伦已经这么做了，他不怕压力。”
戴维森表示，自己仍有现役军人朋友，国会的投票结果在很大程度上能向士兵们表明国家对他们的支持。
“就像‘嘿，你为什么不能投票支持？或者如果投票结果是213-213，你准备好出兵了，而你们却连内部意见都无法统一？’我认为，这对士兵们来说是一个巨大的鼓舞，表明整个国家仍在支持他们。”
周四投票时，戴维森独自坐在众议院会议厅的后排。

‘I love this country with a soldier’s passion’: How one House Republican voted to buck Trump on Iran

Republican Rep. Warren Davidson, a West Point graduate who served in the Army, remembers when the US went to war in Kosovo without congressional authorization.
It was part of the reason he decided to run for the US Congress.
On Thursday, Davidson was one of just two Republicans to vote with Democrats – and against President Donald Trump – to rein in the president’s war authority and require the White House to seek congressional approval before continuing US military action against Iran.

To be sure, Davidson is not used to being on the opposite side of the president. But the Ohio Republican said his vote was meant to remind Trump that he was once vocally against endless wars.
Republicans ultimately blocked the effort, but in a conversation with CNN ahead of the vote, Davidson said his vote was also to assure conservatives balking at the war effort that they still have a Republican representative in Congress.
The message, he said, was simply: “Hey, there’s still people that hear you.”

Even though he and staunch anti-interventionist Thomas Massie were the only Republicans to vote in favor of Democrats’ war powers push, Davidson said many of his Republican colleagues expressed similar concerns behind the scenes. If the war with Iran continues for 60 days without authorization, it could be a constitutional crisis, he said of those conversations.
“I’ve been encouraged to see that I’m not the only person that shares this viewpoint. I might be the only person that votes this way on this resolution but there are a lot of people in the movement that share these concerns,” Davidson told CNN.
The Ohio Republican did not come to his decision lightly and it wasn’t without pressure from both House GOP leadership and the Trump administration.
Ahead of a House classified briefing with Trump administration officials about the US strikes against Iran earlier this week, Davidson was open to being persuaded to vote with the majority of his party. But he said he had at least two conditions: He needed to know what intelligence the president had received that made him want to engage in war when he has historically been against it, and he needed to know what limiting factors existed on the ongoing operation.
During the classified briefing, Davidson stood up to ask a question, a source in the room told CNN.
Davidson declined to share that question with CNN, but he said the administration has publicly answered why Trump felt it was time to engage in war but that it has not put any limitations on what the conflict will look like.
The next morning, Davidson confronted House Speaker Mike Johnson during a closed-door meeting about his views of Article I of the US Constitution and the role Congress should play in authorizing the use of military force, a source familiar with the exchange told CNN.
After that interaction, House GOP leadership kept the conversation with Davidson going, thinking the congressman could still change his mind, a GOP leadership aide told CNN.
But later Wednesday, Davidson announced on the House floor that he would be voting against his party’s leadership and in support of the war powers resolution.

“I love this country with a soldier’s passion,” Davidson said from the House floor. “I rise in support of this war powers resolution today because the moral hazard posed by a government no longer constrained by our Constitution is a grave threat.”
Massie, the Kentucky Republican who co-led the legislation with California Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna, is used to being on an island apart from his Republican colleagues as the result of his high-profile fights against the president. He applauded Davidson’s willingness to stand up for what he believed in.
“I’m beyond the pressure campaign. I’m in the part where they just try to unselect you,” Massie said. “It seems like anybody who gets on the same side of an issue with me where I’m taking up for the Constitution and standing for what we campaigned on instead of the flavor of the day does take a lot of heat. But Warren’s done that already before. He’s not afraid to take heat.”
Davidson, who says he still has friends in active duty, said a vote in Congress goes a long way in showing soldiers that their country is behind them.
“It’s like, ‘Hey, how is it you can’t vote? Or if it’s tied 213-213, you’re ready to send us, and you guys can’t even work this out amongst yourselves?’ And so, I think it really is a huge boost for the soldiers to know that the whole country is behind them,” he said.
On Thursday, Davidson sat alone toward the back of the House chamber when he cast his vote.
