伊朗战争权力法案在参议院未获通过,尽管共和党新增支持票

华盛顿专电 参议院周四否决了一项旨在限制特朗普总统对伊朗动用战争权力的决议,尽管这项由民主党主导的法案新增了一名共和党支持者。

此次程序性投票结果为49票支持、50票反对,四名共和党议员——缅因州参议员苏珊·柯林斯、阿拉斯加州参议员丽莎·默科夫斯基、肯塔基州参议员兰德·保罗以及北卡罗来纳州参议员汤姆·蒂利斯——与民主党议员一同投票推进该法案。宾夕法尼亚州参议员约翰·费特曼是唯一投下反对票的民主党议员。

这项共同决议原本要求总统“将美国武装部队从针对伊朗伊斯兰共和国、伊朗政府或军方任何部门的敌对行动中撤出,包括可能承担作战角色或用于占领的地面部队,除非获得宣战声明或针对伊朗使用军事力量的具体授权”。

众议院已于7月以214票对208票通过该决议。作为一项共同决议,它无需提交总统签署,也不会遭到否决。1973年出台的《战争权力决议》允许国会通过共同决议指示总统撤军,但两党政府数十年来一直辩称该程序违宪,无法约束总统。

将于明年年初卸任的蒂利斯首次与其他三名共和党议员一同投票支持推进该法案。他对记者表示,他计划投赞成票是因为政府已于7月通知国会“针对伊朗的军事行动”重新启动,至今已过去60天。《战争权力决议》规定,总统必须在军事敌对行动开始后48小时内通知国会,未经授权的军事行动时长不得超过60天,若总统认定需要更多时间安全撤军,可额外延长30天宽限期。

此次投票被认为是中期选举前国会就战争权力问题进行辩论的最后一次机会。目前这场战争已持续超过六个月,看不到结束迹象,汽油和柴油价格持续飙升。

自今年2月底伊朗局势升级为军事冲突以来,民主党已推动十余次旨在限制总统对伊战争权力的投票。其中大多数都未能通过,但今年5月,在多名共和党议员缺席的情况下,由弗吉尼亚州参议员蒂姆·凯恩牵头的一项法案在四名共和党议员的支持下获得参议院程序性通过。

随后在6月,同样的四名共和党议员与民主党议员一道通过了众议院通过的另一项单独决议,这是对总统的象征性谴责。作为共同决议,该决议无需总统签署。但在一天后,在与特朗普总统举行一场激烈的会议后,关键共和党议员改变了投票立场,进一步推进凯恩法案的努力宣告失败。

民主党在这一问题上态度积极,承诺将继续通过投票向参议院共和党人施压。周四的投票是自7月以来参议院首次就此议题进行表决。

近期几天来,一些在竞争激烈的选区寻求连任的共和党议员在对伊战争问题上与总统分道扬镳。本周早些时候,密歇根州和艾奥瓦州关键参议院席位的共和党候选人公开呼吁迅速结束这场战争。

参议院多数党领袖、南达科他州共和党人约翰·图恩本周早些时候对记者表示,民众对高汽油和柴油价格“感到厌倦”。他表示,他鼓励参议院候选人按照自己的竞选纲领行事,即便他们在某些问题上与总统意见不一。

“这是经济上的不满,”图恩说,“这也是为什么我再次希望政府能够专注于确保海峡畅通、航道开放,帮助缓解全球能源供应问题。”

Iran war powers measure falls short in Senate, despite new GOP support

September 24, 2026 2:45 PM EDT / CBS News

Washington — The Senate rejected a resolution aimed at limiting President Trump’s war powers in Iran on Thursday, though the Democrat-led effort picked up one new GOP supporter.

In a 49 to 50 vote,four Republicans — Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Rand Paul of Kentucky and Thom Tillis of North Carolina — joined Democrats in voting to advance the measure. Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania was the sole Democrat to oppose.

The concurrent resolution would have directed the president to “remove the use of United States Armed Forces from hostilities against the Islamic Republic of Iran or any part of its government or military, including potential ground forces in a combat role or used for occupation, unless explicitly authorized by a declaration of war or specific authorization for use of military force against Iran.”

The House adopted it by a vote of 214 to 208 in July. As a concurrent resolution, it wouldn’t have been presented to the president for his signature and couldn’t have been vetoed. The War Powers Resolution of 1973 allows Congress to direct the president to remove troops through a concurrent resolution, but administrations of both parties have argued for decades that the process is unconstitutional and cannot bind the president.

Tillis, who’s leaving the Senate early next year, joined the other three Republicans in support of advancing the measure for the first time. He told reporters that he planned to vote in favor because 60 days had passed since the administration notified Congress in July that “military action” against Iran had restarted. The War Powers Resolution dictates that the president must notify Congress within 48 hours of the start of military hostilities, and caps any unauthorized engagement at 60 days, with an extra 30-day grace period if the president determines more time is necessary to safely withdraw U.S. forces.

The vote marked what’s expected to be the final chance to weigh in on the war powers ahead of the midterm elections. It comes as the war has surpassed the six-month mark, without an end in sight, and gas and diesel prices continue to surge.

Democrats have forced more than a dozen votes on efforts to rein in the president’s war powers in Iran since it began in late February. Most have fallen short, but the Senate advanced a measure, led by Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia, with the support of four Republicans amid a handful of GOP absences in May.

Then in June, the same four Republicans joined Democrats to adopt a separate, House-passed resolution, which marked a symbolic rebuke of the president. As a concurrent resolution, it didn’t require the president’s signature. But a day later, after a contentious meeting with Mr. Trump, key Republicans shifted their votes, and an effort to further advance Kaine’s resolution fell short.

Democrats have remained bullish on the issue, pledging to continue their efforts to put pressure on Senate Republicans with the votes. Thursday’s vote marked the first time the Senate has weighed in since July.

Some Republicans running for reelection in competitive races have broken with the president on the war in recent days. Earlier this week, GOP candidates in key Senate races in Michigan and Iowa chimed in to call for a swift end to the war.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune, a South Dakota Republican, told reporters earlier this week that there’s “voter fatigue” with high gas and diesel prices. He said he has encouraged Senate candidates to run their own campaigns, even if they disagree with the president on some issues.

“It’s an economic frustration,” Thune said. “That’s why again I hope that the administration is laser-focused on trying to get the strait open, get the shipping lanes opened up, and help out with that global energy supply.”
