华盛顿讯——参议院民主党人周二阻挠了一项年度必通过的国防政策法案的推进,他们表达了对特朗普政府处理对伊朗战争方式的反对。
康涅狄格州民主党参议员理查德·布卢门撒尔周二对记者表示:“在我看来,《国防授权法》已成为对伊朗战争的全民投票。”
此次参议院以50票反对、46票赞成的结果,否决了推进《国防授权法》的初步程序性投票。参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩投了反对票,此举允许他再次提交该法案。
民主党人严厉批评特朗普政府未经国会批准就推进伊朗冲突。1973年的《战争权力决议》规定,如果国会未正式宣战,总统在部署军队后必须在48小时内向国会报告,且任何未经授权的军事行动时长不得超过60天。但特朗普政府坚称,敌对行动已于4月“终止”,直到最近几日再次爆发。
参议院少数党领袖查克·舒默批评此次推进《国防授权法》的投票时机不当,他指出白宫周一正式通知国会,伊朗地区的敌对行动已恢复。
“然而共和党人却希望参议院审议国防授权法案,仿佛这一切都没发生?”舒默在投票前说道,“仿佛国会可以一边审议国家核心国防法案,一边无视最紧迫的国家安全危机?我们不能这么做。我将投反对票。”
这位来自纽约州的民主党人严厉抨击特朗普总统“发动未经授权的战争,无视国会两党多数派的意见,拒绝向美国民众透露战争成本、任务目标或最终结局”。
“《国防授权法》不能成为我们在伊朗看到的这种鲁莽行为的许可状,”他补充道,“唐纳德·特朗普无权将美国民众拖入一场他自己都无法解释、也不知道如何结束的战争,然后要求国会视而不见。”
《国防授权法》确定了议员们的国防优先事项,通常会获得两党广泛支持通过。图恩周二上午敦促民主党人支持该法案,称他希望参议院能尽快通过该法案,并开始与众议院和白宫的同行合作,推动法案最终落地。
“共和党人已经准备就绪,”图恩说,“问题是,民主党人今天会如何投票?”
图恩表示,他认为“民主党人没有理由”反对该法案,但他指出“过去一年半以来,民主党人的诸多行动都受阻挠政治的驱使”。
“我当然希望民主党人现在不会将政治置于支持我们男女军人之上,”他说,“但这取决于他们自己。”
图恩称赞该法案“高度重视无人系统,尤其是无人机和反无人机措施”,同时继续推进造船计划“以加强我们的海军舰队”。在空军力量方面,图恩称赞该法案将“帮助确保我们维持至少1800架战斗机的规模”,同时支持新型B-21远程战略轰炸机。
这位南达科他州共和党人特别强调,该法案延续了去年《国防授权法》中改革国防采购的举措,包括允许签订多年期采购合同。他还称赞该法案为军人加薪3.6%,以及在教育、住房、医疗保健和儿童保育方面的其他投资。
“武装部队委员会的同僚们提出了一项强有力的法案——一项对我们国家安全和保卫国家的男女军人都有利的强有力法案,”图恩说道。

Senate Democrats block must-pass defense policy bill over Iran war objections

Washington — Senate Democrats blocked a must-pass annual defense policy bill from moving forward on Tuesday as they voiced opposition to the Trump administration’s handling of the war with Iran.
“The NDAA, in my view, has become a referendum on the Iran war,” Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut told reporters Tuesday.
In a 50 to 46 vote, the Senate opposed an initial procedural vote to advance the National Defense Authorization Act. Senate Majority Leader John Thune voted against it a move that allows him to bring up the bill again.
Democrats have harshly criticized how the Trump administration has moved ahead in the Iran conflict without approval from Congress. The 1973 War Powers Resolution dictates that the president must report to Congress within 48 hours of deploying forces if lawmakers haven’t authorized a declaration of war, and caps any unauthorized engagement at 60 days. But the Trump administration has maintained that hostilities “terminated” in April, until they began again in recent days.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer criticized the timing of the vote to proceed to the NDAA, noting that the White House formally notified Congress on Monday that hostilities have resumed in Iran.
“Yet Republicans want the Senate to take up the NDAA, the defense bill, as though none of this is happening?” Schumer said ahead of the vote. “As though Congress can debate the nation’s central national security bill while ignoring the nation’s most urgent national security crisis? We cannot. I will be voting no.”
The New York Democrat railed against President Trump for “waging an unauthorized war, defying bipartisan majorities in Congress, refusing to level with the American people about the cost, the mission, or the end game.”
“The NDAA cannot become a permission slip for that recklessness that we see occurring in Iran,” he added. “Donald Trump does not get to drag the American people deeper into a war he cannot explain and does not know how to end, and then demand Congress look the other way.”
The NDAA sets lawmakers’ defense priorities and usually passes with broad bipartisan support. Thune urged Democrats to support the bill Tuesday morning, saying he was hopeful that the Senate could pass the bill soon and begin working with House and White House counterparts to get it over the finish line.
“Republicans are ready to go,” Thune said. “The question is, how will Democrats vote today?”
Thune said he saw “no reason” for Democrats to oppose, but he argued that “Democrats have allowed the politics of obstruction to determine so many of their actions for the last year and a half.”
“I certainly hope that Democrats won’t now put politics ahead of support for our men and women in uniform,” he said. “But that’s up to them.”
Thune praised the legislation for putting a “heavy emphasis on unmanned systems, especially drones and counterdrone measures,” along with continuing shipbuilding efforts “to strengthen our Naval fleet.” In terms of air power, Thune touted how it would “help ensure we maintain a force of at least 1,800 fighters,” while supporting the new B-21 long-range strategic bomber.
The South Dakota Republican highlighted in particular how the bill builds on efforts in last year’s NDAA to reform defense acquisition, including by allowing multi-year procurement contracts. He also touted the bill’s 3.6% pay raise for troops, along with other investments in education, housing, health care and childcare.
“Our colleagues on the Armed Services Committee have put forward a strong bill — a strong bill for our national security and for the men and women who defend our nation,” Thune said.
