美国会参议院叫停国家紧急状态 特朗普将否决该决议

We're starting in the U.S. Capitol where yesterday the Senate voted 59 to 41 to overturn a recent emergency declaration by U.S. President Donald Trump. The declaration would set aside the funds to build a wall or barrier along the America's southern border with Mexico. The president made the declaration last month because Congress did not approve the funding for the wall.

今天首先来关注美国国会山,昨天,参议院以59票支持、41票反对的结果推翻了美国总统唐纳德·特朗普近期宣布的国家紧急状态。总统宣布这一声明的目的是为在美国南部与墨西哥边境修建边境墙或屏障拨款。由于国会未通过边境墙拨款,总统在上个月宣布进入国家紧急状态。


President Trump has said a barrier is necessary to better protect the country. Critics have said it's inappropriate for him to declare a national emergency to fund it. The president is a Republican and though his political party controls the Senate, 12 Republicans in the chamber joined all of the Democrats and those who vote with them to block the emergency declaration. But will this vote actually prevent it from going through? Experts say, no. Even though the Senate joined the Democratic-controlled House in voting to overturn the emergency declaration, President Trump's response was a tweet that contained a single word, veto.

特朗普总统表示,为了更好地保护美国,有必要修建边境屏障。批评人士认为,总统为获得拨款而宣布国家紧急状态这种做法并不恰当。特朗普总统是共和党人,尽管他所在政党控制着参议院,但是12名参议院共和党议员加入民主党议员的行列,投票支持阻止国家紧急状态。但是,这一投票能阻止国家紧急状态生效吗?专家表示,不能。虽然参议院与民主党控制的众议院联手,通过投票推翻国家紧急状态令,但是特朗普总统在推特上只回应了一个词:否决。

This could be the first veto of his presidency and experts say it will probably be as far as the legislation will go. For lawmakers to override a presidential veto, 2/3 of them have to vote to do that in both chambers of Congress and lawmakers do not have enough votes to override this emergency declaration. So what happens next? It's likely the U.S. court system will ultimately decide on whether the declaration succeeds in getting the wall built. Sixteen states have sued to block the declaration and the Trump Administration expects that the Supreme Court will make the final decision.

这可能是特朗普任期内首次行使否决权,专家表示,就法案来说,这是可能的。推翻总统否决权需要国会两院三分之二的议员同意,而推翻这一国家紧急状态令的议员人数并不够。那接下来会发生什么?这很可能要由美国法院系统来做出最终决定,以确定这一声明是否能推动边境墙的修建。美国16个州已提起诉讼,要求阻止国家紧急状态声明,而特朗普政府预计最高法院将做出最终裁定。
