总统唐纳德·特朗普与以色列联合对伊朗发动的打击,加剧了国会两党日益增长的限制其战争权力的推动,两党议员均要求就旨在限制其在该地区使用军事力量的决议进行投票。
参众两院议员原本已计划在周六第一枚炸弹落下前迫使进行投票。现在,他们进一步呼吁限制总统的军事权力。
弗吉尼亚州民主党参议员蒂姆·凯恩多次推动投票以限制特朗普在海外的战争权力——他在阻止委内瑞拉进一步军事行动的努力中险些成功,直到今年早些时候被共和党人阻挠。

凯恩已准备好他的最新决议,由肯塔基州共和党参议员兰德·保罗共同发起,计划下周在参议院进行投票。他周六表示,此次未经国会批准的打击行动,进一步凸显了为何应立即进行投票。
“这些打击是一个巨大的错误,我祈祷它们不会让我们穿军装的儿女和驻该地区大使馆的人员失去生命。”凯恩在一份声明中表示,“参议院应立即复会,就我的《战争权力决议》进行投票,以阻止美军参与对伊朗的敌对行动。”
在众议院,肯塔基州共和党众议员托马斯·梅西和加利福尼亚州民主党众议员罗·科汉正准备他们自己的战争权力决议,计划下周进行投票。
梅西在X平台上发文称,他反对“这场战争。这不是‘美国优先’。”
“当国会复会时,我将与[科汉]合作,迫使国会就[对伊朗的战争]进行投票。”梅西表示,“宪法要求国会投票,你的代表需要明确表态反对或支持这场战争。”
这项努力得到了众议院少数党领袖、纽约州民主党人哈基姆·杰弗里斯的支持。杰弗里斯本周早些时候指出,该决议将要求“总统必须向国会说明对伊朗使用军事力量的理由。”

由于少数几名民主党人已与本党决裂,支持政府对伊朗的打击,该决议在众议院的命运仍不确定。
梅西和科汉的推动可能还得到众议院至少一名共和党人的支持。
俄亥俄州共和党众议员沃伦·戴维森在周六得知打击行动后,似乎准备支持他们的战争权力决议。他重申了本周早些时候在X平台上的立场。
“我已要求就伊朗任务的机密简报。”戴维森表示,“在没有新信息的情况下,我将支持下周众议院的战争权力决议。”
“战争需要国会授权。”他继续说道,“存在非战争行动,但目前没有提出任何理由。”
与此同时,在参议院,凯恩和保罗的推动能否成功,取决于参议院共和党人是否愿意跨党派合作。

今年早些时候,他们找到了一个短暂的跨党派联盟,当时针对委内瑞拉军事行动的决议在关键程序性投票中幸存下来。该联盟包括密苏里州共和党人乔希·霍利、阿拉斯加州共和党人丽莎·穆尔科斯基、缅因州共和党人苏珊·柯林斯和印第安纳州共和党人托德·杨。
霍利和杨后来在政府保证不会在委内瑞拉部署地面部队,且特朗普将寻求国会对该地区任何未来军事行动的批准后,改变了立场。
周六尚不清楚同样的标准是否适用于伊朗的行动。穆尔科斯基和杨均表示,希望在未来几天获得全面简报。
“去年夏天,在‘午夜锤子行动’之后,我在收到高级官员的全面简报后,支持政府在伊朗的定向行动。”穆尔科斯基在X平台上表示,“局势正在迅速发展,我期望国会能获得同等水平的沟通,以便我们充分了解任何进一步军事行动的范围、目标和风险。”

House and Senate lawmakers from both parties are preparing war powers resolutions for votes next week

President Donald Trump’s joint strikes with Israel against Iran have intensified a growing bipartisan push in Congress to rein in his war powers, with lawmakers in both parties demanding votes on resolutions aimed at limiting his authority to use military force in the region.
Members in both chambers had already planned to force votes before the first bombs fell Saturday. Now, they are doubling down on calls to restrict the president’s military authority.
Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., has repeatedly forced votes to curb Trump’s war powers abroad — he was nearly successful in halting further military action in Venezuela until Republicans blocked the effort earlier this year.

Kaine had already prepped his latest resolution, co-sponsored by Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., for a vote in the Senate next week. He argued Saturday that the strikes, carried out without congressional approval, further underscore why a vote should be held immediately.
“These strikes are a colossal mistake, and I pray they do not cost our sons and daughters in uniform and at embassies throughout the region their lives,” Kaine said in a statement. “The Senate should immediately return to session and vote on my War Powers Resolution to block the use of U.S. forces in hostilities against Iran.”
In the House, Reps. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., and Ro Khanna, D-Calif., are preparing their own war powers resolution for a vote.

Massie said in a post on X that he opposed “this war. This is not ‘America First.’”
“When Congress reconvenes, I will work with [Khanna] to force a congressional vote on [war with Iran,” Massie said. “The Constitution requires Congress to vote, and your representative needs to be on record as opposing or supporting this war.”
The effort has the backing of House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., who earlier in the week noted that the resolution would require “the president to come to Congress to make the case for using military force against Iran.”

The resolution’s fate in the House remains uncertain, given that a handful of House Democrats have broken with their party and backed the administration’s strikes in Iran.
Massie and Khanna’s push may also have the support of at least one more Republican in the lower chamber.
Rep. Warren Davidson, R-Ohio, appeared ready to back their war powers resolution following news of the strikes Saturday. He reiterated a position he made earlier in the week in a post on X.
“I have asked for a classified briefing defining the mission in Iran,” Davidson said. “In the absence of new information, I will support the War Powers Resolution in the House next week.”
“War requires congressional authorization,” he continued. “There are actions short of war, but no case has been made.”
Meanwhile, back in the Senate, the success of Kaine and Paul’s push will require Senate Republicans to cross the aisle.

They found a short-lived bipartisan coalition earlier this year, when their resolution targeting military action in Venezuela survived a key procedural vote. The group included Sens. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Todd Young, R-Ind.
Both Hawley and Young later flipped their positions after assurances from the administration that there would be no boots on the ground in Venezuela and that Trump would seek congressional approval for any future military action in the region.
Whether that same standard will apply to operations in Iran remained unclear Saturday. Murkowski and Young both said they hope to receive thorough briefings in the days ahead.
“Last summer, following Operation Midnight Hammer, I supported the administration’s targeted actions in Iran after receiving a comprehensive briefing from senior officials,” Murkowski said on X. “Events are rapidly unfolding, and I expect Congress to receive the same level of engagement so we fully understand the scope, objectives and risks of any further military action.”
