SENATE REPUBLICANS BLOCK MERKLEY’S BILL TO PREVENT WAR WITH VENEZUELA

參議院共和黨阻擋 Merkley 的防止與委內瑞拉開戰法案


December 10, 2025

2025 年 12 月 10 日


Washington, D.C. – Oregon’s U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley released the following statement after Senate Republicans blocked consideration of his Prohibiting Unauthorized Military Action in Venezuela Act of 2025, which would block federal funds from being used for military actions in Venezuela:

華盛頓特區——在參議院共和黨阻擋對俄勒岡州美國參議員 Jeff Merkley 所提出的《2025 年禁止在委內瑞拉進行未經授權的軍事行動法案》的審議後,Merkley 發布了以下聲明。該法案將禁止使用聯邦資金進行在委內瑞拉的軍事行動:


“As the Constitution so clearly says, Congress has the power to declare war—not the President. We must not stand by while Donald Trump prepares to wage war without authorization. Yet, Senate Republicans once again chose to rubber-stamp Trump’s agenda, trampling our Constitution in the process.

「正如憲法明確規定的那樣,宣戰的權力屬於國會——而不是總統。我們不能袖手旁觀,讓唐納德·川普在未經授權的情況下準備發動戰爭。然而,參議院共和黨再次選擇對川普的議程予以橡皮圖章式批准,並在此過程中踐踏我們的憲法。


“Certainly, Nicolás Maduro is a brutal dictator, but that does not give Trump a blank check for launching a war. Congress must reassert its constitutional responsibility. I’ll keep fighting for this body to exercise its authority over the decision to go to war, regardless of who is in the White House.”

「當然,尼古拉斯·馬杜羅是一名殘暴的獨裁者,但這並不意味著川普可以拿到一張開戰的空白支票。國會必須重新主張其憲法責任。無論誰在白宮,我都會持續努力,爭取國會行使對開戰決策的權力。」


On Wednesday, Merkley took to the Senate Floor in an attempt to pass his Prohibiting Unauthorized Military Action in Venezuela Act of 2025, legislation he leads with Virginia’s U.S. Senator Tim Kaine, that would prohibit the use of federal funds for any use of military force in or against Venezuela without explicit Congressional authorization.

週三,Merkley 在參議院發言,試圖推動他的《2025 年禁止在委內瑞拉進行未經授權的軍事行動法案》,該法案由他與維吉尼亞州參議員 Tim Kaine 共同領導,將禁止在未經國會明確授權的情況下使用聯邦資金進行對委內瑞拉的任何軍事行動。


Merkley’s bill does not prevent the United States from acting to defend itself or its citizens from an armed attack or threat of an imminent armed attack, pursue lawful counternarcotics operations, or provide humanitarian assistance to the Venezuelan people.

Merkley 的法案並不阻止美國採取行動保護自己或其公民免受武裝攻擊或迫在眉睫的武裝攻擊威脅,進行合法的反毒品行動,或向委內瑞拉人民提供人道援助。


The Prohibiting Unauthorized Military Action in Venezuela Act of 2025 is also co-sponsored by Senators Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), Angela Alsobrooks (D-MD), Peter Welch (D-VT), Edward J. Markey (D-MA), Bernie Sanders (I-VT), and Andy Kim (D-NJ).

《2025 年禁止在委內瑞拉進行未經授權的軍事行動法案》還由參議員 Chris Van Hollen(馬里蘭州民主黨)、Angela Alsobrooks(馬里蘭州民主黨)、Peter Welch(佛蒙特州民主黨)、Edward J. Markey(麻薩諸塞州民主黨)、Bernie Sanders(佛蒙特州獨立黨)以及 Andy Kim(新澤西州民主黨)共同發起。

Jeff Flake: Fellow Republicans, there’s still time to save your souls ; 西元2019年9月30日

Jeff Flake, a Republican, represented Arizona in the U.S. Senate from 2013 to 2019. He is a resident fellow at Harvard University and a contributor to CBS News.


Two years ago I stood in the Senate chamber and said: “There are times when we must risk our careers in favor of our principles.”

In my case, I had not supported the president’s election. One year into his presidency, I knew that I could not support his reelection. Though I had hoped that I could still run for reelection to the Senate in 2018 as someone who would help to provide a check on the president’s worst impulses, it soon became apparent that this was not what Republican primary voters in my state were looking for. Whatever reservations they might have had when they voted for Donald Trump, one year into his presidency they wanted a senator who was all in.

But I already had seen too much. Traveling overseas, I witnessed the damage being done to our standing in the world as a result of President Trump’s fondness for authoritarians and his scorn for allies. His hostility toward security alliances and trade agreements had placed our long-term security and our economy at risk. His adoption of the tyrant’s phrase “enemy of the people” put journalists in even greater peril, all over the world. His resentment toward refugees and profane description of certain countries were destroying generations of goodwill.

Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) warns populism is not a governing philosophy. (Dalton Bennett, Kate Woodsome/The Washington Post)

At home, I was convinced that his repeated disparagement of the judiciary, antagonism toward Congress and casual disregard for the truth were damaging our democratic institutions, and his persistent crudeness to his political opponents and cruelty toward vanquished foes were degrading our political culture. I knew that to have a chance of winning reelection, I would need to support policies I could not support and condone behavior I could not condone.

Now, two years later, it is my former Republican Senate colleagues who have a decision to make. Or, as I see it, two decisions to make. The first is difficult; the second is easy.

We have learned from a whistleblower that the president has abused the power of his office to pressure a foreign government to go after a political opponent. A rough transcript of the telephone call has removed all ambiguity about the president’s intent. In light of these revelations, the House of Representatives has launched an impeachment inquiry and will likely be forwarding to the Senate at least one article of impeachment.

Compelling arguments will be made on both sides of the impeachment question. With what we now know, the president’s actions warrant impeachment. The Constitution of course does not require it, and although Article II, Section 4 is clear about remedies for abuse of office, I have grave reservations about impeachment. I fear that, given the profound division in the country, an impeachment proceeding at such a toxic moment might actually benefit a president who thrives on chaos. Disunion is the oxygen of this presidency. He is the maestro of a brand of discord that benefits only him and ravages everything else. So although impeachment now seems inevitable, I fear it all the same. I understand others who might have similar reservations. The decision to impeach or not is a difficult one indeed.

Even if the Senate won’t convict, impeachment will still punish and deter

Now for the easy decision. If the House decides against filing articles of impeachment, or the Senate fails to convict, Senate Republicans will have to decide whether, given what we now know about the president’s actions and behavior, to support his reelection. Obviously, the answer is no.

I am not oblivious to the consequences that might accompany that decision. In fact, I am living those consequences. I would have preferred to represent the citizens of Arizona for another term in the Senate. But not at the cost of supporting this man. A man who has, now more than ever, proved to be so manifestly undeserving of the highest office that we have.

Jeff Flake in 2017: Enough. It is time to stand up to Trump.

At this point, the president’s conduct in office should not surprise us. But truly devastating has been our tolerance of that conduct. Our embrace of it. From the ordeal of this presidency, perhaps the most horrible — and lasting — effect on our democracy will be that at some point we simply stopped being shocked. And in that, we have failed not just as stewards of the institutions to which we have been entrusted but also as citizens. We have failed one another, and we have failed ourselves.

Let us stop failing now, while there is still time.

My fellow Republicans, it is time to risk your careers in favor of your principles. Whether you believe the president deserves impeachment, you know he does not deserve reelection.

Our country will have more presidents. But principles, well, we get just one crack at those. For those who want to put America first, it is critically important at this moment in the life of our country that we all, here and now, do just that.

Trust me when I say you can go elsewhere for a job. But you cannot go elsewhere for a soul.
