众议院周四以微弱优势投票,允许唐纳德·特朗普总统继续对伊朗开展”史诗 Fury”行动。
由肯塔基州共和党众议员托马斯·马西和加利福尼亚州民主党众议员罗·卡纳领导的两党决议未能通过,最终以212票对219票被否决——四名民主党议员与多数共和党人一起否决了该决议。
该法案旨在阻止特朗普动用美军参与美以联合行动,而这一行动可能会迫使打击行动戛然而止。
特朗普政府以及国会多数共和党人坚持认为,总统迄今为止的行动均在其职权范围内,并希望他继续如此行事。

但民主党人,以及马西和俄亥俄州共和党众议员沃伦·戴维森,则普遍持怀疑态度。后两者均投票支持该限制法案。
投票反对限制特朗普战争权力的民主党议员包括缅因州民主党众议员贾里德·戈尔登、德克萨斯州民主党众议员亨利·奎利亚尔和俄亥俄州民主党众议员格雷格·兰兹曼。
马西在辩论该决议时表示:”阿亚图拉不是总统。他是一个来自以激进伊斯兰主义者闻名地区的宗教领袖,美国和以色列却把他变成了烈士。如果国会想要战争,议长就应该举行投票宣战。”
戴维森周三表示:”政府不再受宪法约束所带来的道德风险是一个严重威胁。”
其他共和党议员则担心,此时阻挠该行动可能弊大于利。
“我认为总统完全有权开展这项行动,”纽约州共和党众议员迈克·劳勒周二告诉福克斯新闻数字版。”我认为任何试图阻挠这一行动的努力实际上会危害我们的国家安全和我们的军队。”
宾夕法尼亚州共和党众议员瑞安·麦肯齐告诉福克斯新闻数字版:”我将投票反对《战争权力法》,因为一旦总统采取行动,我们如果此时退缩,实际上会让我们更容易受到伤害,更不安全——因为让他们的所有能力都保持原样,却已经开启了这样一场冲突。”
美国官员表示,他们的目标仍然是伊朗的军事资产、高级领导层和核能力。战争部长彼得·赫格塞斯本周告诉记者,该行动将有明确的时间限制。
但民主党人指责特朗普在未经国会授权的情况下,无视国会第一条修正案赋予的权力,将美国带入一场看似永无止境的冲突。
“唐纳德·特朗普未经授权、未经解释、没有战略或退出计划就将美国带入战争。已有六名勇敢的军人献出了生命,”马萨诸塞州民主党众议院少数党督导凯瑟琳·克拉克周三表示。
周四的投票发生在参议院周二否决了弗吉尼亚州民主党参议员蒂姆·凯恩提出的一项限制特朗普在伊朗军事行动的决议之后——此前几天,曾有猜测称共和党人是否会像以往那样跨党派谴责总统。
在共和党人中,只有肯塔基州参议员兰德·保罗投票支持该决议,而宾夕法尼亚州民主党参议员乔恩·费特曼则是唯一跨党派支持的民主党人。

House votes to let Trump’s Operation Epic Fury continue in Iran
Vote comes after the Senate similarly voted down a bid to rein in President Trump’s war powers

The House of Representatives narrowly voted to allow President Donald Trump to continue Operation Epic Fury in Iran on Thursday.
A bipartisan resolution led by Reps. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., and Ro Khanna, D-Calif., failed to pass after four Democrats joined most Republicans in sinking it, 212 to 219.
The legislation was aimed at blocking Trump from using the Armed Forces in the joint U.S.-Israeli operation in Iran, which would likely force the strikes to grind to a halt.
The Trump administration, as well as the majority of Republicans in Congress, have insisted that the president has acted within his authority so far and are hopeful he will continue to do so.

But Democrats, along with Massie and Rep. Warren Davidson, R-Ohio, are largely skeptical. Both Republicans voted in favor of the measure.
The Democrats who voted against reining in Trump’s war powers include Reps. Jared Golden, D-Maine, Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, and Greg Landsman, D-Ohio.
“The Ayatollah was not a president. He was a religious leader from a region notorious for radical Islamists and the United States and Israel turned him into a martyr,” Massie said during debate on the resolution. “If Congress wants war, then the speaker should hold a vote to declare it.”
Davidson said Wednesday, “The moral hazard posed by a government no longer constrained by our Constitution is a grave threat.”
Other Republican lawmakers said they were concerned that handicapping the operation now could do more harm than good.
“I think the president is well within his legal authorities to conduct this operation,” Rep. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., told Fox News Digital on Tuesday. “I think any effort to stymie that would actually jeopardize our national security and jeopardize our troops.”

Rep. Ryan Mackenzie, R-Pa., told Fox News Digital, “I’ll be voting no, against the War Powers Act, because once the president has taken that action, that first action, if we were to pull back, it would actually leave us more vulnerable and less safe by leaving all of their capabilities in place, but having started a conflict like this.”
U.S. officials have said their targets remain Iran’s military assets, senior leadership, and nuclear capabilities. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth told reporters this week that the operation will have a finite timeline.
But Democrats are accusing Trump of plunging the U.S. into a seemingly endless conflict while running roughshod over Congress’ Article I authority.

“Donald Trump has taken America to war without authorization, without explanation, without a strategy or an exit plan. Six brave service members have already given the ultimate sacrifice,” House Minority Whip Katherine Clark, D-Mass., said on Wednesday.
The Thursday vote comes a day after the Senate shot down a resolution from Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., aimed at limiting Trump’s military actions in Iran following days of speculation about whether Republicans would cross the aisle — as they have done before — to reprimand the president.
Only Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., voted in favor of the resolution among Republicans, while Sen. Jon Fetterman, D-Pa., was the lone Democrat to cross the aisle in support.
