美国国会再次出现针对国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯的弹劾行动。共和党众议员托马斯·马西提出的决议指控赫格塞斯犯有可被弹劾的行为，其中包括他对伊朗战争的处理。
A fresh effort has been made in the US Congress to impeach secretary of defence Pete Hegseth. In the resolution moved by Republican Representative Thomas Massie, Hegseth has been accused of committing impeachable acts, which include his handling of the Iran war.
这是马西第二次针对赫格塞斯提出弹劾决议。第一份决议在美国中期选举前提交，被共和党籍众议长迈克·约翰逊驳回。
The resolution against Hegseth is Massie's second effort. The first, filed before the US midterm elections, was dismissed by Republican house speaker Mike Johnson.
在周一提交的最新决议中，马西称赫格塞斯自加入特朗普政府担任“战争部长”以来，至少犯下八项可被弹劾的行为。这些行为包括：发动未经授权的对伊朗战争、违反《战争权力决议》、涉嫌军事和行为不当——包括在加勒比海的舰船撞击事件（据称属战争罪）以及阻挠50名已获选晋升为将军或海军上将的军官晋升。这位前福克斯新闻主播还被指控无视旨在最大限度减少平民伤亡的法律，包括在一次针对伊朗学校的袭击中，以及非法绑架外国领导人——委内瑞拉的尼古拉斯·马杜罗。
In his fresh resolution on Monday, Massie said Hegseth has committed impeachable acts at least eight times since joining the Trump administration as the “secretary of war.”These acts include waging an unauthorised war with Iran, violations of the War Powers Resolution and allegations of military, and conduct abuse, including boat strikes in the Caribbean (which is an alleged war crime) and blocking the promotion of 50 officers selected for general or admiral rank. The former FOX News anchor has also been accused of ignoring laws designed to minimise civilian casualties, including in a strike on an Iranian school, and unlawfully kidnapping a foreign leader - Venezuela's Nicolas Maduro.
此项弹劾决议是在共和党在关键中期选举中失去对美国国会的控制权后提出的，当时民主党控制了参众两院，使国会变为“蓝色”多数。
The impeachment resolution comes after Republicans lost their stronghold in the US Congress after the crucial midterm elections, where Democrats washed the Congress blue by taking control of the Senate and House.
然而，尽管民主党控制了国会，共和党议员将继续掌权直到1月。在此之前可能发生很多变故。
However, despite Democrats taking control of Congress, Republican lawmakers will remain in power until January. And a lot can happen till then.
将采取行动设法阻挠该决议，让赫格塞斯留任，因为共和党在伊朗战争问题上仍存在分歧。据肯塔基州众议员……梅西提出的决议，与民主党于2027年1月宣誓就职后将对这位前福克斯新闻主播发起的行动相比，是一个“温和得多”的版本。如果该决议在国会获得通过，皮特·赫格塞斯将成为美国历史上第三位遭弹劾的内阁部长。
Efforts will be made to thwart the resolution by keeping Hegseth in office, as the GOP remains divided on the Iran war. According to Kentucky Rep. Massie, his resolution is a much "gentler" version of what awaits the former FOX News anchor once the Democrats are sworn-in in January 2027. If the resolution is passed in Congress, Pete Hegseth would become the third cabinet secretary to be impeached in US history.
内阁部长以前被弹劾过吗？在美国250年的历史上，内阁部长仅被弹劾过两次。
Have cabinet secretaries been impeached before? In the 250 years of the United States of America, cabinet secretaries have been impeached only twice.
第一次是在1876年，杰出的内战老兵威廉·贝尔纳普在担任前总统尤利西斯·S·格兰特的战争部长期间，因一起腐败丑闻遭到弹劾。这位老兵被指控严重渎职，并收受贿赂以换取官方任命。贝尔纳普在众议院对其弹劾进行表决前辞职，但仍被弹劾。参议院后来因民主党缺乏弹劾所需的三分之二多数而宣判他无罪。
The first was in 1876 when distinguished Civil War veteran William Belknap, serving as former president Ulysses S. Grant’s secretary of war, was impeached amid a corruption scandal. The veteran was charged with criminal disregard for his office and accepting payments in exchange for official appointments. Belknap resigned before the House could vote on his impeachment, but was impeached nonetheless. The Senate would later acquit him due to the Democrats lacking the two-thirds majority required for impeachment.
第二次是在近150年后的2024年，乔·拜登政府时期的国土安全部部长亚历杭德罗·马约卡斯遭到弹劾。马约卡斯被指控未能执行移民法，并因向国会作虚假陈述、无视传票命令和阻碍监督而背弃公众信任。虽然他的弹劾案在众议院以微弱优势通过，但参议院在认定对马约卡斯的指控不符合宪法规定的“重罪和轻罪”标准后，宣判他无罪。
The second was nearly 150 years later, in 2024, when Alejandro Mayorkas, secretary of Homeland Security under Joe Biden's administration, was impeached. Mayorkas was accused of failing to enforce immigration laws and breaching public trust by making false statements to Congress, defying subpoena orders and obstructing oversight. While his impeachment was narrowly passed in the House, the Senate acquitted him after voting that the accusations against Mayorkas did not rise to the constitutional standard of high crimes and misdemeanours.
特朗普有权力阻止赫格塞斯被弹劾吗？随着赫格塞斯弹劾案的提出，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普为其战争部长背书，声称在他的领导下，华盛顿赢得了两场战争——委内瑞拉和伊朗。“好吧，他赢了两场战争。我不知道你怎么能弹劾他。
Does Trump have powers to stop Hegseth from getting impeached? With Hegseth's impeachment raised, US president Donald Trump has backed his secretary of war, stating under him, Washington has won two wars - Venezuela and Iran." Well, he won two wars.
“那么，越南、阿富汗、伊拉克那些人呢？我们在那里打了永远，什么也没发生，为什么不弹劾他们？”特朗普在接受路透社简短电话采访时说。这位美国总统还表示，赫格塞斯在担任国防部长期间做得“很棒”。特朗普还称共和党众议员马西是“失败者”，因为他提出了针对赫格塞斯的弹劾决议。
I don't know how you can impeach him. Well, what about impeaching the people from Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq and all of that, where we fought forever, and nothing happened?" Trump said in a brief phone interview to Reuters. The US president also said Hegseth had done a "good job" during his tenure as secretary of defence.
“失败的共和党众议员托马斯·马西，一个彻头彻尾的失败者，正试图弹劾或许是全国最受欢迎、最成功的军事官员、战争部长皮特·赫格塞斯。招募人数达到历史新高，而在瞌睡乔·拜登时期处于历史低点，并且取得了两场胜利，委内瑞拉和伊朗，皮特·赫格塞斯应该受到赞扬，而不是被弹劾。国会，为皮特挺身而出！！！”特朗普在“真相社交”上发文。
Trump also called Republican Representative Massie a "loser" for moving an impeachment resolution against Hegseth.“Defeated Republican Congressman Thomas Massie, a total loser, is trying to Impeach perhaps the most popular and successful military official in the Country, Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth. With recruitment at an ALL-TIME HIGH, from an all-time low under Sleepy Joe Biden, and TWO VICTORIES, Venezuela and Iran, Pete Hegseth should be praised, not Impeached. Congress, stand up for Pete!!!”Trump said on Truth Social.
在特朗普的支持下，赫格塞斯也对记者表示，他对该决议“不担心”。
With Trump's backing, Hegseth also told reporters that he is "not worried" about the resolution.
虽然美国总统没有宪法权力阻止或否决针对内阁部长的弹劾程序，但特朗普将试图团结共和党人在众议院扼杀该动议，因为共和党仍掌权直到2027年1月。
While the US president has no constitutional power to stop or veto an impeachment proceeding against a cabinet secretary, Trump will try to rally Republicans to kill the motion in the House, as the GOP still holds power until January 2027.
即使众议院投票弹劾赫格塞斯，参议院的表决也不会通过，因为定罪和免职需要三分之二多数。共和党目前占据参议院100个席位中的53个，因此定罪需要几乎所有民主党参议员加上大约14名共和党参议员的投票。
Even if the House votes to impeach Hegseth, the vote in the Senate will not hold up, as conviction and removal require a two-thirds majority. Republicans currently hold 53 of 100 seats, so conviction would take the votes of nearly all Democrats in the Senate, plus roughly 14 Republicans.
如果针对赫格塞斯的动议继续推进，美国总统可能不得不考虑在新任国会议员宣誓就职前更换国防部长，因为民主党已经誓言要对赫格塞斯进行审判。
If the motion against Hegseth continues, the US president may have to consider replacing the secretary of defence before the new members of Congress are sworn in, as Democrats have already vowed to bring Hegseth to trial.
