针对美国总统特朗普的弹劾,来到了一个新的阶段!
美国时间10月31日(周四),美国国会众议院以232票赞成、196票反对的表决结果,通过一项针对总统特朗普的弹劾调查程序的决议案。这是众议院首次就这一弹劾调查举行正式投票。众议院议长佩洛西于9月底宣布启动弹劾调查。
The U.S. House of Representatives voted on Thursday to approve a resolution designed to formalize proceedings of an impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump. The resolution, unveiled earlier this week by the House Rules Committee, was passed 232-196 by the Democratic-controlled House. This was the first time that the House had taken a full chamber vote related to the impeachment inquiry since House Speaker Nancy Pelosi initiated it in late September.
投票结果几乎完全依照党派划线,没有共和党众议员对决议案投赞成票,民主党众议员中有两人投了反对票。
No Republicans voted in favor of it. Two Democrats split with their colleagues to vote against the resolution.
众议院议长佩洛西在主持投票时强调权力制衡的重要性,称这项决议案所制定的规则相比美国历史上有过的弹劾程序“更加公平”。
部分共和党国会议员表示,决议案没有改变弹劾调查过程对特朗普“不公平”的本质。
Congressional Republicans have criticized the way Democrats are conducting the impeachment inquiry as unfair.
据新华网报道,佩洛西于9月24日宣布启动众议院对特朗普的弹劾调查,起因是一名情报界人士匿名检举特朗普7月在同乌克兰总统泽连斯基通话时要求对方调查美国民主党总统竞选人拜登及其儿子。民主党指责特朗普滥用职权谋求私利,寻求外国势力干预明年美国总统选举。特朗普坚称不存在与乌方的“利益交换”。(戳回顾)
面对这番决议案,特朗普选择硬怼上去,论调则还是他之前用过的。他在推特上声称这是美国历史上最大的一次“猎巫行动”,并且表示此举已经影响到美国的股票市场。
Trump, in tweets Thursday morning, called the impeachment inquiry the "Greatest Witch Hunt In American History," claiming that it was hurting the nation's stock market.
就在美国国会众议院通过这一决议案不久,特朗普的女儿伊万卡也站出来维护自己的父亲。
Ivanka Trump invoked the words of a founding father on Thursday to defend her own father from his political enemies, moments after the House of Representatives voted to formalize its impeachment inquiry.
她在推特中引用了一段经典,来自美国“国父” 托马斯•杰斐逊写给女儿Martha的一封信:“被敌人和间谍包围,他们抓住我说的每个字写的每句话来诋毁我,如果对他们不利还要编造事实。”
" '... surrounded by enemies and spies catching and perverting every word (which) falls from my lips or flows from my pen, and inventing where facts fail them.' -Thomas Jefferson's reflections on Washington, D.C. in a letter to his daughter Martha. Some things never change, dad!" she tweeted Thursday.
最后还不忘补上一句:爸,有些事儿从来没变过!
新华网援引分析人士和媒体预测,决议案通过后,弹劾调查有可能在11月中旬进入公开听证阶段。
